What does your religion, assuming you are religious, say to explain evolution or other scientific discoveries or theories? This is a neutral question, so do not assume that I am taking any side, I am just curious.

I agree that many things are complicated. But is it complicated because we are only a product of nature also? What seems obviously amazing to us may not really be amazing.

The Wiccan religion has no universal policy on science and religion -- each Wiccan is assumed to be competant to draw their own conclusions. We have no creation myth per se, and no dogma stating that our beliefs are inerrant.
Myself, I believe that science is the best tool we have for understanding the physical world around us. I have the greatest respect for the scientific method as a mode of inquiry and appreciate the lively debate that characterizes the scientifiic community as a whole. To me, the strength of science is in its ability to question itself and to change as new evidence presents itself -- the very thing that some others view as a weakness.

The Catholic Church does not attempt to explain evolution or any other scientific process because it is not the business of a church to do so, nor are the leaders of the Church qualified to do so. That is the job of professional scientists, not clergymen. The Church teaches the Word of God and the truth of salvation. Biological processes through which species develop have nothing to do with religion. At least not with true religion.

My religion says: let's leave science to the scientists. It doesn't waste time on trying to offer alternative fancy explanations and entertaining myths, because it has much more important topics to address.
By the way, dark_aphotic's bogus claims are all debunked on this page:

Mine dosen't really care. What matters is that it happened, and now everything is how it is. No point in wasting spiritual development on wondering about things. Science explains the physical, and my mind will explain the metaphysical. No invisible sky daddies involved.
Personally, I want to be an evolutionary biologist.

Deism basis its understanding of God on the world (and universe) around us. If evidence supports evolution, which it does, then it fits in perfectly with Deism.

As an atheist, I accept evolution as the best explanation for the diversity of life.
Also, Buddhism, Jainism, Anglicanism, Catholic Christianity,... accept evolution as well due to the fact that they think their beliefs and evolution are not contrary.
