Creationism is the belief that all humanity, life, the Earth, or the universe as a whole was created by a supreme being (often referred to as God) or by other forms of supernatural intervention. Alternatively, creationism is the belief in a literal interpretation of specific religious works referring to God creating the universe. This latter sense is often referred to as "strict creationism".
evolution is change in the heritable traits of a population over successive generations, as determined by changes in the allele frequencies of genes. Over time, this process can result in speciation, the development of new species from existing ones.
So the main issue is do you back faith or science? At least with evolution there are many things that have been proven. Really there is only one missing link(Sasquatch/Bigfoot) that prevents human evolution to be proven one hundred percent. I often find myself wanting to believe in something, but I rather abandon my faith and look at things in a logical manner.

I believe in evolution. You can see how humans evolved by seeing how a fetus becomes a baby. It goes through all the evolutionary steps to become human. It's just that it happens in nine months where as it took millions of years for man kind.

The proof you so blindly put your faith in is less than convincing if you really look at it. Personally I believe in micro-evolution, but I don't for a moment believe that man evolved from a monkey. That "one missing link" that you so casually throw around represents thousands of years worth of evolution if you believe in that sort of thing. If these "pre-man" creatures existed for such a length of time, why is it that we can't find even one trace of them today? Further, many of the methods these so-called scientists use to "prove" their theory have been proven inaccurate in many cases. And let's not forget the "Lucy" debacle. In the end many scientists are so eager to prove evolution that they have used questionable methods to "create" their proof. Yet they still can't even tie it all together! It seems to me that it takes just as much faith to believe in evolution as it does to believe in Creation. The only question is, do you put your faith in God or in man?

I am more willing to put my faith in a man or woman who tries to answer the questions of the unknown than a being that is surrounded by speculation as far as its existence is concerned.

well i say i go with creationism, it is more simple unlike science which actually produces more questions than answers when it comes to origin of inteligent life here on earth. i do not think that there is only one missing link, i say there are millions of them needed by science to clarify best yet to come up with a very good answers. greetings. : )
