Intelligent Design Vs. Evolution

I don't really believe in either Creationism or Evolution. I believe that in the beginning of time, God created Earth and everything in it. However, I also believe that from this point forward evolution has taken place, to some extent. There have been so many studies proven to show that evolution has taken place, that I feel it is almost silly to not believe in it (at least to some point). I realize that evolution can be proven as nothing more than a theory, which, in my opinion it is - not everything I believe seems true to everyone else, and many things I believe can be easily disproven. However, to fully believe in Creationism, you have to have a lot of faith, which I do not. I do believe that God, or some kind of thing, greater than all of us, exists. However, espesially nowadays, I have been leaning more toward the idea of rebirth than Heaven (even though I am supposed to be Jewish/Christian ...).
I guess what I am trying to say is that there are parts of both Creationism and Evolution that I agree with; as there are parts of different religions that I agree with. I wish, in the future, that I can find some sort of religion where my views completely fit. I love the idea of a religious community, and although I have been to temple many times (a Hebrew school for a few years) I never agreed with certain aspects of Judaism (which I won't even get into...).
In conclusion, I think I should make my own religion, where you can believe in either Intelligent Design or Evolution because the most important thing is to spread peace love, and comfort to one another... Hippieism. :D
