Origin of the Species: God or Evolution?

What I find so interesting about the article Evolution revolution? regarding President Bush's comment about Evolution and Creationism be taught side by side is that the "Freedom from Religion" groups don't want creationism taught while the "God said it, that settles it" group doesn't want evolution taught. Both side are wrong. Why? Did not Charles Darwin write Origin of the Species? And would not a defining of the "origin of the species" try and determine whether or not God created the earth and the stars OR that there was not God in creation? I do not propose that through evolution that we can become like Gods in the Mormon religion or that evolution denies there is a God. Personally, I see Him and (minor) evolution at the same time.

Bottom line: God started it by creation, set up the laws (physics, etc) in which it was to be run, which we're still trying to figure out, and let us decide based on the evidence whether or not we see Him.
