Well . . .
Its interesting that people really debate this a lot.
Belief itself is a little flaky. I am a little more practical.
Creationism doesn't give us a working model that does us any good. We can't use Creationism to increase our understanding of the way our universe works that allows us to manipulate said Universe. Except to get down on our knees and Thank our Diety. whatever good that does.
Evolution gives us a better model to manipulate our environment. It teaches a little more about the interaction of life elements and what they do.
So its a more useful theory.
The problem is that our understanding of cellular evolution is better than our understanding of the evolution of organisms.
As h2hoot said, some of the time aspects in the fossil record don't make a lot of sense.
However, and someone correct me. Isn't there an idea out there that Homo Habilis and Homo Erectus might not be actual ancestors but just examples of Hominids that didn't make it? Kind of like Neanderthals being shown not be homo sapiens sapiens?
That would actually make the fossil record clearer if true. Buts it been a while since I studied physical anthropology.
