Both really. The Bible mentions the various groups of living creatures one after another pretty much in the order they appeared in evolution. (You can check this and give it as proof to your study).
The problem is with the time it took God to create the various life forms on Earth. In fact, the Bible being such an old text, we can only guess:
1/ what calendar they were using at the time,
2/was a day a metaphor for a certain much longer period of time,
3/ was the Earth rotating at the same speed at the time of Creation or
4/ is the Bible talking about the days on another planet.
Also, creation is only explained over a few pages, therefore it is very, very concise. For instance, you can tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood in 10 or more pages, but you can also tell what happens in it in three sentences. The essentials will be the same, the level of detail - certainly not. Darwin's theory is the story told in detail.
Naturally there are gaps which make it hard for us to imagine and truly believe both the Theory of Evolution and Creation.
To me, however, they complement each other, they do not exclude each other.
If you read the Bible carefully, you will see that the children of Adam and Eve were not the only ones on Earth. They, however, wore God's spirit in them. Maybe they are Darwin's ''missing link''?

Creation, however with the possibilty of God-assisited evolution, or adaptation.
A lot of evidence leads to intelligent design as there are many fallacies and unwarranted extrapolations regarding evolution and natural selection e.g. Darwin's finches and 'The Moth Story'

I think God caused the Big Bang, fromed the Universe from the aftermath, focused on one planet, created dinosaurs to fertilise the earth, it's possible they were killed off by the effects of a meteorite hitting the earth, once the planet was habitable God then created animals and man.
I do not believe that the earth was created in six 24-hour days, simply because the Bible does not say that. A day in the Bible can simply refer to a period of time. People even now use the expression: "Back in my day..."
Evolutionists will point to the fossil record as their star witness, but the fossil record actually disproves evolution. If we evolved, then the fossil record would show fish appearing first, followed by amphibians, later mammals would appear until humans came on the scene. But the fossil record shows that everything appeared at the same time.
Also, the fossil record should also show every stage in between each evolutuionary stage, but it doesn't. People talk about the missing the link, but there would be several missing links between each evolutionary stage.
Dinosaurs also disprove evolution. Evolutionists appreciate how mathematically improbable it is for life to evolve in the first place. However, if we evolved, that means that life evolved into what we know as dinosaurs and after they were killed off, life as we know it now evolved again. The chances of life evolving twice on the same planet are so improbable that you can confidently say it is impossible.
Darwin renounced his theories on his death-bed. Atheists begin with the premise that there isn't a God so, even though they know how unlikely it is that life began by chance, they feel that it must have happend that way.
Any scientist that believes we are here by accident is a bad scientist because it is a basic scientific fact that you can't get something from nothing.
A fact is something that can be proven. If evolution is fact, why can't it be proven?

I am not sure why your science teacher has you looking a creation. Its gibberish. I suggest you just write "creation - not a single piece of robust scientific evidence for this hypothesis exists in any source or any journal."
Then you can get on with learning evolution, which, contrary to what the terminally ignorant say on here, has truly vast amounts of evidence to support it.

Evolution of species is a fact. Creationism is nothing. It has no meaning or relevance to science and can be dismissed out of hand as totally irrelevant.

Evolution.
I watched this programme on of the documentary channels, and they reckon that before we evolved to us, we used to pick the smartest mate...
Plus, creationists, you say you can't get something for nothing, what did God just have a big pile of skin and other organs lying about? Where did they come from then? How could he just create something from something that never existed?

If it's for science, you're going to fail off the charts if you conclude that it's creation. Seriously.

Both, as long as we try to separate the two we miss the mark.
we look for facts that only the mind can accept, but there is a greater truth/knowing.
A greater number of people are aware, and that in its self can not be fully explained, only that it is happening.
Something great is happening!
