Do you believe in evolution, or creationism, or something else, and why or why not? Personally, I believe in evolution, but you never know when a good argument could sway you, so...

Evolution is truth. That's my opinion.
Ditto with selection. At least in nature it is. In human society... well, hmm... can't really see much of that around, thus no linear evolution, but a big bunch of oddities. :)
Creationism is something I relate to religions such as christianity (no, it's not the only religion claiming the world was created by a god, which is why the "such as" is there). Since I'm mostly an anti-religion person (t'least those that deal with the afterlife and/or a supreme deity), it's nothing more than a nice story. I'd never consider seeing it as anything but that, either.
Devil... of course it's the work of the devil. Considering Satan's always been attatched to the carnal, animals and their natural urges and violence, and to things opposing the bible. Devil candy - no. But associable with the devil, yea. In the most positive way, as a symbol.
