I don't understand why it can't be both. Where Christian dogma fails is creating this dichotomy -- you either believe in God, or believe in chemistry -- obviously, God created the chemical laws as well and has overseen the evolution of life from the very beginning.
Chemistry and evolution are verifiable via the scientific method. Their reality can be demonstrated. The same cannot be said for any deity ever proposed.
Moreover, evolution by natural selection appears decidedly undirected. Life is needlessly complex, wildly inefficient and exhibits innumerable deleterious consequences of random genetic mutation.
