As a devout Christian who lives in New Zealand, I believe in Creation AND Evolution: the two ideas coexist beautifully if you do not insist on taking the first few books of Genesis literally.
It is impossible to live in New Zealand or Australia and seriously believe in the Genesis account literally and in isolation.
Charles Darwin was a genius who got it about half-right.

It is impossible to live in New Zealand or Australia and seriously believe in the Genesis account literally and in isolation. Well like Alexander John Dowie and Ken Ham, America beckons.
It's classic Darwinism, with both artificial and natural selection.
- Collect and isolate into a population those individuals with the conman trait.
- Interbreeding and natural selection raises the con level in that population - Survival of the Fittest
- If individuals with that developed con trait are released into a population which has no defences against them, they have an advantage and prosper.

Creation and evolution do not work together. If there was no fall of man, there was no need for a Savior.
