Personally, I'm with the God squad. I believe in creation, salvation etc etc. But only a half-wit would deny the evidence for evolution. And only half a half-wit would believe the Earth is 6000 years old.
I see no problem with a creator that sort of sets the rules and gets the ball rolling (makes as much sense as a "Quantum Fluctuation") and just gives it a nudge here and there. But ultimately we'll never know until its over.
Like Dawkins I have a strong aversion to organised religion. To me, the first priest was the first rogue who met the first fool, but Dawkins rather slavering attacks on beliefs smack of a Hezbollah-like attitude that leads down an equally bad road. Hyper-rationality has as many pitfalls religious zealotry.
My 2 cents.
