1. God made the world using a process called evolution.
2. God made the world using some other method but made it in such a way that it appears that evolution took place.
3. There is no God.
None of the above can be proved using scientific methods and are a matter of faith. However whichever you believe, the theory of evolution is still valid and is a very important and usefull theory in the field of Biology. Infact almost all of Biology and medicine are tied to evolution in some way.

Please, do enlighten me... Who says rocks has evolved into humans?
Evolution is a theory of its own, not core to the whatever theory you choose to believe as to the origins of the universe. Yes, the theory of origin is inclusive of evolution, but not the other way around.
Specifically of the theory of origins - Those who profess to be Evolutionists generally follow the big bang theory, or something similar. Christians (and those other regilions who base from the Bible.) are Creationists. In regards to these two theories (Big Bang and Creation) - they CANNOT coexist. Big Bang professes that life began some 4.6 billion years ago. Creationism professes that God created life about 11,000 years ago. As Creationism suggests life started at that point, it is also in contradiction with the theory of evolution, although I have known many a Christian that tries to explain evolution and/or scientific evidence that "proves" the theory.
For Evolutionists, fossils, carbon dating and science empirically back up their belief.
For Creationists, faith backs up their belief.
So how do Creationist debunk the theory of evolution? Most that I have spoken to claim that all of these things that are found (dinosaur bone fossils, etc....) were placed there by God (or some say by Satan) to confuse and test man along the path to salvation.
Hope this helps.

Creationism is further divided into young-earth - and old-earth creationism.
Both have their own origin model. The old-earth model fits rather snuggly into the big bang and evolution. The young-earth model is more complex with its own ad hoc theories to explain phenomenon such as carbon dating and fossils. Among the more knowledgeable circles of the young earth adherents, you won’t find people claiming God to have placed decoys to confuse us - that is just baloney.
