Evolution: What do you have to tell yourself to deny its existence?
No offense intended, I just want to know what it is about creationism that makes more sense than evolution to some people, when there's so much viable evidence against it.
What do you believe and why?

Although this could go back and forth forever i believe in Creationism.
I have a lot of friend that believe in evolutionism and i can understand where you are coming from but there are problems with evolution that I just don't understand such as
Where did the beginning material come from?
Where are all the middle creatures like a fish bird?
How come there are not humans with gills or wings?
I believe that God put all the animals on the earth because things are way to complex to have been created by random order.
Take the eye.
It couldn't have just slowly come to be because there would have had to be an eyelid so the eye wouldn't dry out rods and cones plus a lens and a pupil. they all would have had to be there at the same time for one thing to exist they couldn't have come slowly but surely
However in the end all that really matters is believing in Jesus Christ as your one and only savior.

Creation is the only explanation that makes any sense whatsoever, as there is no conclusive proof that anything ever evolved. First we need to define the word:I believe it means that one species becomes (evolves) into a completely NEW species. (This is MACRO-evolution) To selectively breed a Chihuahua, or a Irish Wolf Hound from a wild wolf is NOT evolution it is a variation within a species, that some call MICRO-evolution.They are still all the same KIND are they not? – therefore they did NOT evolve, they are merely a new variety. Maybe a Dalmatian, Jack Russell terrier or a Great Dane in the dog example above. MICRO-evolution (variation within the species or kind) has been observed many times, but MACRO-evolution has NEVER been observed, No transitional fossils have ever been found, and properly identified as such.
It is vitally important that words such as "evolution" be used accurately and consistently. The theory of "evolution" that the evolutionists are really promoting, and which creationists oppose, is the idea that particles turned into people over time, without any need for an intelligent designer (God).
The evolutionist Kerkut accurately defined this "general theory of evolution" (GTE) as "the theory that all the living forms in the world have arisen from a single source which itself came from an inorganic form."
He continued, "The evidence that supports this is not sufficiently strong to allow us to consider it as anything more than a working hypothesis." [G A Kerkut, 'Implications of Evolution" Oxford, England. Pergamon, 1960), p.157.]
Dennis Petersen in his informative book, Unlocking the Mysteries of Creation,15 page 67, quotes Dr. Henry Morris who says it this way:
Unknown chemicals in the primordial past…through…
Unknown processes which no longer exist…produced…
Unknown life forms which are not to be found but could through…
Unknown reproduction methods spawn new life…in an…
Unknown atmospheric composition…in an…
Unknown oceanic soup complex…at an…
Unknown time and place.
May God bless you as you study His Word

The Truth, only The Truth, No Offense intended
Evolution is an enabler for atheism. Evolution gives atheists a basis for explaining how life exists apart from a Creator God. Evolution denies the need for a God to be involved in the universe. Evolution is the “creation theory” for the religion of atheism. According to the Bible, the choice is clear. We can believe the Word of our omnipotent and omniscient God, or we can believe the illogically biased, “scientific” explanations of fools.

I don't have to "tell myself" anything -- all I have to do
is wait, and watch DNA news. It's doing a pretty good
job of wiping out theories of human "evolution"
from "lesser" primates
without the least bit of "help" from me at all.
And, I don't believe that human interference
in animal, or plants or the occasional "natural"
cross breed amounts to evolution either..

evidence should be from sastra (vedic literature) and from authority of disciplic succession. "Means" From one authority to another authority, this way the line of authority was came from god himself.
The lord himself told in Bhagavad GIta that due to break of the disciplic succession. The knowlegde of god has been lost. Therefore he came again to teach through arjuna in the battle field, which he is dear to supreme god.
This has been told in sastra as follows;
evamÌ paramparÄ-prÄptam
imamÌ rÄjarsÌ£ayo viduhÌ£
sa kÄleneha mahatÄ
yogo naṣṭaḥ parantapa
TRANSLATION
This supreme science was thus received through the chain of disciplic succession, and the saintly kings understood it in that way. But in course of time the succession was broken, and therefore the science as it is appears to be lost.
Therefore evidence from the vedic literature and from the bonefide person to hear about is the correct to be followed.

We are becoming creators ourselves with the announcement of the first synthetic cell by Craig Venter in May this year.It is logical that our creators are scientifically more advanced than us.

It's easier. Requires no thought.
Anyone who thinks evolutionary theory is a lie/incorrect, I dare you to answer this question:

Man, evolution is so logical. Sometimes I like to believe that both are true in ways. Who's to say a God didn't create that first single celled organism?

Well, you have to honestly convince yourself that you have a better understanding of complex biological sciences than virtually every scientist in the world.
*That* level of denial takes a giant drumful of unmitigated gall.
