I believe in evolutionary theory. Being a theory does not in any way make it less plausible than a host of other things we take for granted which are all theories and there is nothing wrong with a possible explanation for a set of observations being a theory. I do not believe that every detail in every conflicting paleontologists account is the best or even accurate but in general the basic gist of the theory is well supported. It is when people start adding their own interpretations to the basics that they run into problems.
I do not believe the theory depends on magic though it does depend on a concurrence of chance that is so unlikely as to seemingly require the existence of "magic" or providence for it to take place.
The question of the creation of the universe is a separate theory and is not a part of the theory of evolution. One could even believe in a theory of godless evolution (though that theory does not state anymore that it must be godless) and still believe in a god-created universe. Though believing in non-supernatural creation of the universe is almost certainly impossible.
The creation of the Earth is also a separate theory and is mostly irrelevant to either the question of the creation of the universe or the creation of mankind.
Regarding the evolution of mankind the theory of evolution actually states just that mankind evolved from lower creatures. There are multiple possible ways that the details could work out; probably as many ways as there are people stating them. Some of those people would say that mankind evolved from single cell creatures but not all would.
However, after all that is said the bias in the field is extreme and one would be hard pressed to find an archeologist who was a believer in any sort of supernatural existence at all despite the abundance of physicists who not only are believers in the supernatural but are believers precisely becuase their science informs them.
The greatest threat to both science and evolutionary theory is the unscientific and biased approach taken by those most entrenched in its halls. Some exalt it to religious importance.
