Put on your thinking caps
Creationist and Evolutionist are on opposite sides of the same coin. And neither can see the other because of the edge which divides them. I want you to read this article and give it serious thought before you decide whether or not to believe it.
I have studied many religions, and a variety of related practices. I have also attempted to analyze the results of both belief and unbelief. My conclusion is that neither can take a dominant position. In fact, I D and Evolution are joined at the hip. Consider this: Creation requires evolution to effect change without radical instantaneous jumps from one level to the next. Time itself flows effortlessly from one moment to the next. After the fact, one can state the transition as a defined measurement, but in the moment, the moment itself goes by unnoticed. And evolution has to have a starting point and a terminal point to define the process from one state of existence to the next. Each evolutionary process like the moment in time cannot be appreciated until the conclusion of the sequence.
For only then can it be traced to the beginning or the end of that particular segment! Each beginning is for all practical purposes a creation. Perspective can allow us to use the words creation and invention interchangeably for the purpose of my delineation of the symmetry here. Consider a computer. There once was an original computer. It could be argued that the first one was a sundial. But at the time no one could have realized it. The first could have been a skinny tree, or a dead one. Later, marks on the ground were added. Evolution was to adapt to the changing need to mark time. Then, the design of a movable dial was added. Later, much later after a serious of trials and modifications, a clock was developed. Then, refined and reduced into a watch.
Manual, spring, windup, then batteries, then lcd. Variations of displays, solar, alarms, somewhere a branch led to an abacus, eventually the other branches, bicycles and their varieties, radio, tv, cars, motorcycles, cell phones, desk tops, laptops, wireless... Looking back one can see the creation of a simple but efficient devise. Today, we look at some of the origins and wonder what was on someone's mind to come up with some of the insane developments that went nowhere, but natural selection, or feasibility took care ensure the survival of the fittest.
As with biological organisms, mechanicals devices are related and follow different evolutionary patterns, but have a shared need and are interdependent, just as we are in our ecosystems. And I hope you see my point. Without evolution, creation would be meaningless as the eternal perfection has no place to go, because it is already there. And without and origin, evolution cannot progress because it needs a point of origin from which to analyze the process of change. So my friends, from my point of view, these two are not independent, but dependent.
