To me, it doesn't make sense that if someone can believe that God is the creator of all, how can they not believe that He created stuff in the beginning, then that stuff evolved. Seems like a no-brainer.

I agree. My home page on my web browsers (all of them, I use IE, Netscape, and Opera - my favorite is Opera but some web pages don't recognize Opera) is NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day. Very cool way for the layman to learn cosmology.
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html I know that the evolution of the Universe and the evolution of life forms are not related, but in my mind they are analogous. The Universe started out as gas and became more complex over time. A couple of days I learned the theory that the Sun is a Third Generation star - which I gather means that our Sun is made up, in part, of material from dead stars, two generations of dead stars.
http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae465.cfm When I first heard the term Intelligent Design, I thought it might mean that people had discovered that a drive towards complexity was somehow programmed into physical matter, which I have seen in science fiction, and that they had somehow decoded that, but unfortunately, that's not the case.
Nobody really knows the First Cause.
