Evolution. I also believe in gravity, the quantum theory, chemistry, mathematics and the power of spell check.

Evolution Yes.
"Believe" ... hmm ... more like accept as the best scientific theory that explains the evidence.
But I also recognize that while there is only one central explanation system called "evolution", there are *many* versions of "creationism".
Some forms of creationist ideas are fully compatible with evolution (like that identified by the Catholic church).
Some are rational (like certain forms of Old Earth creationism, and Intelligent Design), but lacking evidence or a coherent statement of a theory. (Many people don't realize that many key advocates of Intelligent Design, like Michael Behe, actually admit that evolution has occurred, the earth is billions of years old, and species are the result of common ancestry ... they only debate whether natural selection alone explains that evolution.)
And some are absurd (like any brand of Young Earth creationism that insists that the earth is 6,000 years old).

I believe evolution, but evolution doesn't disprove creationism. For all you religious people, just think of evolution as gods way to let life adapt to its surroundings at its own freewill.

Both, God made evolution and as important as science is spirituality is more vital to me. There is a saying that Religion is for those afraid of hell and spirituality is for those who have been and don't want to go back. Too many people through the ages have tried to use God's word as science. Until they kill or torture people over it I'll bet God gets a good laugh from it.

Beliefs have nothing to do with scientific theories.
That said, evolution seems more likely than the story in the bible. Yet, evolution does not disprove god.

Evolution. There's too much physical evidence to question it. The ideas of creationism are just myths.

Neither. I know evolution is a fact because of the overwhelming evidence, whereas creationism has none.
No belief or faith required.

creationism is a mythological belief with zero supporting scientific evidence.
Evolution is not a belief. It is a scientific theory based on observable scientific fact and predictable results that have been repeatedly verified through repeatable testing scenarios thus making it a collection of facts, not beliefs.
