Whenever I am asked that question, I wonder if the asker "knows" the meaning of the word, as opposed to "believes" its meaning. Not to be too critical of the question, a different phrasing might give you more useful answers.
If one wishes to classify people according to believers and non-believers, then the purpose of the inquiry seems disingenuous. For example, if I believe the theory of evolution is dumb and Fred believes in the theory of evolution, then I believe Fred is dumb. But what about Fred's argument? Well, I have already disregarded his thinking, so it doesn't matter.
In my opinion, creation and evolution are compatible. I believe the world was created (not necessarily via the Big Bang), and that various lifeforms have evolved. I cannot say that humans have evolved from amoeba, or more directly, monkeys, but there is very clear evidence that humans have changed (i.e. evolved) dramatically over the centuries. This I know: We have grown larger, our teeth have changed, we walk more upright than our ancient ancestors, we have less hair, and bigger brains.
I also know that humans know far less than they don't know. Incompatibility lies in restricting ourselves to beliefs versus knowledge. One who always gives precedence to belief doesn't want answers. As for the ones claiming to have the answers, don't believe them.

yes, but i also believe in spiritual things like an afterlife
these scientists think that believing in evolution means you have to be an atheist, that's not true. they ignore all the evidence of things like alien abductions and afterlife contact by spirits.

No, it's a theory that has no basis in fact. There is so much in nature that bears evidence of Design and purpose. I believe that Jehovah God is our Creator. The advice he prescribes in the pages of the Bible are as applicable today as they were when his prophets penned the words. Here's a great article about how many scientists believe in an intelligent Creator: http://www.watchtower.org/library/g/2004/6/22/article_02.htm

Yes, I do. People believing a two thousand year old book of theology over scientific fact is ludicrous.

yes, I never understood having to believe in just one or the other, I believe in both

I study biology, and observe evolution.

Yes, and I enjoy watching evolutionary biologists tear creationists to shreds in debates and on science forums. It's like watching Chuck Liddell beat up a quadriplegic.

Yes, all life is constantly changing, moving, evolving. It cannot do anything else.
