Creating Evolution

I'm still so confused by this whole debate. The universe had to begin somewhere somehow. We all know this to be true. There is a beginning to everything that has ever existed. So why have we not gotten to the point where we, as a society, are having a serious, intellectual debate that says that both creationism AND evolution are possible?! I'm not even saying that I believe in both, but why can''t both sides see that in the very least its possible that the universe was created, but that it has evolved from that initial existence. It is too difficult for me to overlook the overwhelming scientific data that proves the existence of evolution. However, I am not so thick-headed and arrogant to think that I know everything there is to know. When are we going to open our minds and see that both of these theories can coexist without discarding one another?? To the believers in creationism I would say this: Even if tomorrow we all agreed that the universe was created by God him/herself, why is it not possible that after that initial creation things have evolved over time? To deny the immense volumes of science is down-right moronic and ignorant. The same group believes the theory that God created us with a free will. Is this not a form of evolution in itself? Follow me....We are born with certain traits that play a role in shaping who we become and what we believe. Throw in a free will to change our minds, and think differently than our families/friends/teachers/ and so on, and what do you get?? An evolving human being. So if its possible that we can evolve mentally, why can't we evolve physically as well? Now to the evolutionists.... I'm with you when it comes to the vast science that backs up the theory of evolution. But to you I ask this, where was the beginning to everything? I understand the Big Bang theory, but even that theory has to have a beginning of something to crash into something that exploded creating something. It is just as arrogant and ignorant for the evolutionists to think that everything just began from nothing and has continued to evolve as it is for creationists to ignore scientific proof. Here is the thing, no one knows, or quite possibly will ever know how things got started. There are theories. But theories are just that...theories. Created by men and women who are fallible, therefore their theories are exactly that as well. Fallible! So please, can we all just stop pretending like we know it all and admit that there are so many questions about the universe around us that we just will never know? And until the day when we do know it all (which is the 25th of NEVER), let's open our minds and ears, close our mouths for just a little bit to listen to each other, and agree that both sides just might be correct! Again, I'm not saying that I necessarily believe in both myself, but I'm not thick-headed enough to say that I know which is right. Therefore, I'm open to the idea that both can be possible side-by-side without denying the other.
