To me, God is actually more believable than evolution. After all it IS a theory, meaning it hasn't been 100% proven. In fact, Darwin himself points out the theory's "downfalls" in his Origin of Species somewhere.

What triggers evolution? And why only certain species evolve? Take the giraffe, for example. How come it was the only animal who thought of stretching out its neck to eat from the taller trees? As somebody pointed out, the 'missing link' hasn't been discovered. No one has ever found an intermediate species (A half-necked giraffe, if you may). Of course, the findings of fossils cannot be denied, they are there for the world to see. But how exactly do we know they are linked to humans? Monkeys today still kinda look like us, yet they're a different species.

Evolution theory claims that somewhere in time, some billions of years ago, particles of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen decided to come together and create life. (At least, is what I understand). If this is true, how come with all the technology we have we are not able to recreate this? What makes those particles create life and who is behind it? Certainly not us, that's for sure. If we were, scientists would be creating life by merely putting these four elements together. Is life random, then? Or is there a purpose? Did you know that it has been astronomically proven that our position in the universe allows us to actually explore and 'look out' into space? Were we on a slightly different spot, the orbit would be changed dramatically. And we'd probably be too close or too far from the Sun to sustain life.

Any respectable scientist will agree that there is intelligent design behind nature. This requires a Creator, a Mastermind behind it all. Evolution is too random. I believe in a Creator God with a specific plan and purpose for His Creation.
