So I am curious if there is anyone who believes in evolution rather than creationism and still practises religion. If so, how can you and why would you even practise religion at all?

I see no necessary contradiction between directed evolution and a Creator.

I also believe it is quite possible for this universe to have been created from a "template" a few thousand years ago.

Perhaps the "template" was gained from acts of directed evolution.

I believe it is possible for the Creator to sit at a point or points inside or outside of this universe and experience 14 billion years as 7 days.

In any case, I believe this world was deliberately designed in such a way that the more enlightened among us could fall for the unguided evolution delusion.

This world is a testing grounds. You can't have a real test without any (at least theoretical) possibility that some might fail the test.

Logically, undeniable evidence of a Creator would defeat the point of the exercise.
