My opinions about evolution are the same as those about any other branch of science; the theory and the observations have developed together, and they make sense to me. As observations come along that require shifts in the theory, the theory is shifted, just like any other. For me there's no conflict between this theory and the possibility of the existence of God; I don't believe in God, but I certainly accept the possibility of the existence of a creator of some sort. However, if that creator is supernatural, there's no way science can address him/her/it, so I don't see a problem reconciling the two - they aren't opposed to start with.
Where I DO see the problem is the argument based on ignorance or plain untruth - "it's ONLY a theory (as if that was a problem in science)," "thre's no REAL evidence for it," "lots of great scientists don't believe in evolution," and the reams of misinformation on the creationist websites. If that's what it takes for a religion to discredit a perceived opponent, it doesn't, to me, say much about the religion.
Usually when talking to creationists, I gather that their opposition to evolution comes down to the desire to feel special - the notion that I can't have come from a monkey, evolved from a ball of slime, be related to the lower animals because I need to feel I'm special in God's eyes. And I have never understood why a person who evolved from the first lifeforms, which developed from inorganic materials, which accreted from the earliest starstuff of God'ss creation, can't feel special.
