How did we get here? Where are we going?

How, really, did we get here? Did we derive from related species in a process known as evolution? Did God create us exactly as we are (if so, when)? Can both explanations be true? How so?

A related question: where are we going? Will we continue to gather genetic variation, some of which will be more suited for survival and reproduction? Will we remain exactly as we are for millions or billions of years? Can both possibilities occur? How so?

Do you think scientific observation - observing physical phenomenon - degrades religious truths? Do you think scientific theories - which, based on observations, describe the physical world - takes away from the belief in a Supreme Being?

A friend sent me http://topstories.foxnews.mobi/quickPage.html?page=17224&content=34633338&pageNum=-1 this link which reminded me how fundamental and divisive these questions can be. And, yet, where two currents meet is often where the nutrients are richest.
