I tend to believe evolution is an imperfect system, which explains why so much is screwed up.
It makes much more sense to me than the belief of those fundamentalist religious communities who insist an ominipotent God made the world in six days before putting his feet up, or those who realise the universe is more than six thousand years old but still insist it was created by God's intelligent design.
If they are right, then he made a hash of it. If you are clever enough to design the intricacies of a brain, the beauty of a sunset, or the emotion of love, why would you make humans so greedy and quarrelsome that they always want to fight each other? Why would you invent Tsunamis? Why would you bother to put wasps on the earth?
They can't have it both ways. If God is the designer, he should take the blame for the cock ups. To me, it makes much more sense to believe that things started to go wrong in the process of the early life forms crawling out of the mud.
