How did we get here, by evolution or by creation? What are your beliefs?

Both.

We were created by our parents and have evolved over time through thousands/millions/billions(?) of previous matings.

I believe God created life on Earth, and I believe evolution helps that life adapt and go on.

If it exists and then it evolves, is not God part of that evolution?

Creation - Yes.

Darwinian evolution - No. Humans were created as humans, and we continue to bring forth more humans.

100% creationist. Evolution is just plain wrong.

Agreed. You might want to check out the Wiki article, "Mitochondrial Eve" which says:

Quote:
This is the most recent woman from whom all living humans today descend, in an unbroken line, on their mother’s side, and through the mothers of those mothers, and so on, back until all lines converge on one person. Because all mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) generally (but see paternal mtDNA transmission) is passed from mother to offspring without recombination, all mtDNA in every living person is directly descended from hers by definition, differing only by the mutations that over generations have occurred in the germ cell mtDNA since the conception of the original "Mitochondrial Eve".

Mitochondrial Eve is estimated to have lived between 99,000 and 200,000 years ago, most likely in East Africa, when Homo sapiens sapiens (anatomically modern humans) were developing as a population distinct from other human sub-species.
Mitochondrial Eve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So throw the story of Genesis out the window.

Many here seem to confuse the origin of life with evolution.

to understand that the two are completely different.
