My personal feeling is that evolution is just the way God managed things. I
have no problem incorporating both theories into my world view.

I don't see it. Evolution provides an answer--that appears to be
elegant, consistent, and complete--to "how"; I don't see anything
anywhere in it that remotely tries to address "why". Which is why this
"you must choose God or evolution" thing seems so stupid to me:
allowing only one of them means that you'll always be "wrong", because
you'll have only part of the answer.
