The creation of the universe, the formation of our galaxy, our sun and our planet, the geological age of earth, the origin of life are all theories that are no part, and not necessary for the theory of evolution. As a matter of fact many of those were already accepted theories in the times of Darwin, not made to afterwards to support his theory.
The only reason they are all put in the same bag, is that creation explains all of them at once.

Anyway I agree that no one here seems to be defending pure creationism.
We all seem to agree that there were species that disappeared to be replaced by more "evolved" species.

So as Alpha Kodiak suggested, let's discuss the mechanic of that "evolution".

Saying evolution is based on "random chance" is a simplification that might be misinterpreted.
Yes, evolution requires random variation, genetic drift, some modern theories even include an eventual hopeful mutation.
But the base of evolution is not that randomness, its the natural selection that happens next, a cruel method that separates good changes from bad changes, by their chances of surviving and if applicable their chances when contending for a mate.

If you're a believer I see no problem why you cannot accept that God is pulling the strings behind random variation + natural selection.
Then perhaps you want to call them God's variation + God's selection, but you'd be basically talking of the same concept. Just the same way that human conception is considered a miracle of God, even if it's been explained in detail from a biological/medical point of view.
