The two ideas are not inconsistent. I personally don't see any societal interest in the question of whether you believe in creation or evolution. It's a philosophical question, that has no practical application.
"I personally don't see any societal interest in the question of whether you believe in creation or evolution."
Believing in creation does not make it so. Believing in Evolution does not make it so. Believing in one or the other does not make God exist or not exist.
Having said that, I believe, I know, that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made" by God, the God, a superior being who exists in a timeless realm. I do not have to know all of the intricate details of everything to believe that. Hearing pseudo-science explain that we "evolved" out of the cosmos and that each species, including homo-... or whatever tag the pseudo-scientists want to put on the 'various pre-homo sapien versions" does not effect my belief, my knowing, and hearing the explanations does not make their pseudo science a fact.
