Well, I'd say if the theory has removed God from the picture for you, then that's a personal choice. I for one don't think you have to deny evolution if you believe in God or a God. I just think that, like in many cases, strict interpretation is an incredibly stupid thing. But that's a personal case.

For one thing, there has always been a huge debate on the "are birds related to dinosaurs" issue. Well, they supposedly have found loads of evidence to prove it, and there's that new dino that was found with feathers on its arms and legs that allowed it to drift. No, I don't suppose they've found your "almost T-rex", but for me, I believe evolution more than creationism.
