"How" isn't that important

In this corner, evolution! And in this corner, creation! Who's going to win the prize of hearts and minds worldwide?
You know, it doesn't really matter. It's not going to change minds, and in the end, it's not important from a theological standpoint. What I'm talking about is the seemingly-unending argument on HOW the world was created. Creationists vie for their cause because they feel espousing evolution leaves a Creator God out of the equation. Evolutionists feel their cause is the only scientifically defensible one, and for many, it is far preferable to lack a Creator God. But in the final analysis, all this wrangling will not matter. I'm very familiar with the evolution theory and find nothing in it to change my mind that a Creator God was, and is, active in the process. The same goes for the Creation story, particularly since I'm an English major and I know symbolism when I see it.
I don't have issues with evolution vs. creation for one reason: I've got the WHO part straightened out. I believe in a God Who created the heavens and the earth. I have not the foggiest notion how that kind of creative power works. If it could be explained, I seriously doubt my finite brain could comprehend that kind of might. I believe He is perfectly capable of doing it in seven earth days. For that matter, He is capable of speaking a fully formed world into existence in the blink of an eye. Did His creative work that way with this earth? I don't know, and I'm fine with not knowing. I don't have to know absolutely everything to be happy.
I know I see His hand in the fact that the leatherback sea turtle comes to the same beach in Trinidad every spring to lay her eggs, which she then carefully covers with sand before she heads back into the sea. How can a creature of that order know to do that? Instinct? Surely, but how did that instinct form? At some point, I feel it had to be directed.
I see God's thumbprint in the double-helix spirals of DNA. How elegant! Isn't there something about that design that has instinctive appeal and beauty? God likes swirls. He imprinted them in our DNA and on our fingerprints. The cochleas in our ears and even our outer ears, all bear a swirl motif. Clouds swirl, wind swirls, seashells swirl. To me, the intricate designs of even the smallest leaf bear the signature of their Creator.
Only a sense of humor could have created the ostrich, the platypus, the frilled lizard, the otter. Only Someone with an innate sense of symmetry and grace could have created the cat. His knowledge of loyalty and faithfulness inspired the dog. I see my Creator in the rings on a tree stump and in the endless ocean breakers. Not only did He create a beautiful world, but He gave us the capacity to appreciate and enjoy beauty. We know He loves beauty because we love it.
How the world got here is a mystery. I believe though, with the Apostle Paul, that "now we know in part, but then we shall know in full, even as we are fully known." But I know Who created the earth, so I can live happily without understanding the How.
