I'm Hindu and honestly the evolutionist vs creationist debate has always been baffling to me, since however the universe came into being, all was created by Brahma, is sustained by Vishnu, and is destroyed by Shiva. There are many myths and stories related to the creation of the world, and of how old it is, etc. etc.

From that point of view, I don't actually consider the two sides of this debate to be anything more than a front for another battle: that Evolution as a theory has historically been used in Europe to attack Christianity and that the Biblical truth of Creation is a means to protect the faith against it's attackers. Sorry if that's a bit sacrilegious, but I'm not Christian.
