Evolution

There has always been a big disagreement between the belief in Darwin or God. Who is right and can they both be right? Could God have made an earth in which the '7 day' God spent creating the earth was actually a bad time scale and it allowed for the evolution of man? I know there are some people out there who believe in both, they know God created the earth but all the evidence for evolution seems undeniable as well. For some its hard to admit that we seem to be superior being but we are distantly related to inferior species. Then they think that why would God allow for this to occur when we were made in his image, did he plan for us to develop in this manner or was it by chance?
I think that I would be able to cope with the idea that God created the earth from the big bang, in which everything tha occured afterwards was out of his control. I understand that he is all powerful and all knowing but the chance of human existence seems so variable that I couldn't imagine that he would expect us to turn out this way. The evidence presented by the science sommunity makes too much sense to disregard. I've grown up with the notion that science has allowed us to understand more about ourselves and our surroundings then religion ever could. Knowing the mechanics to life and our world allows for so much more of a useful mind frame then just prayer and worship could. I know science isn't sure about everything but it definately describes many of the usual questions. Maybe the idea that God created man makes less sense as if God created the mechanics of the world; physics, biology and chemistry. This is an understanding I could come to terms with.
