But the "I was created" banner, I always assumed was talking about creation as is proposed in the old testament?

It's hard to believe in that and evolution seeing as they are completely different ideas on how we came about.

That's probably because you are making a category error. Evolution has to do with material causation; creation has to do with agent causation. The OT creation accounts teach about the purpose of creation and the purposer. Ancient Near Eastern Hebrews didn't say anything of any relevance to whether evolution is true, or even the age of the Earth.

But it's not impossible. Because even with a literal interpretation of Genesis.... it's not impossible that things evolved afterwards. And just because things have evolved since, it's not impossible that life began from creation, even of the literal kind.

Creation Vs Evolution is a false Dichotomy. That is why even if evolution is false there is still no evidence for creation.
