Do you believe in evolution or the Bible creationism?

There is a difference between believing something and knowing something. I dont believe in either of them. I know that evolution is real. Evolution is a fact and we can prove it.
During the wars in the early 1900s, people in london would stay in the tunnels underground for shelter from the bombings. Some Mosquitos followed them down there. Here we are 100 years later, and the mosquitos above ground and the mosquitos in the tunnels are now 2 different species that are incapable of breeding together. That is speciation, and speciation requires evolution. Another example of speciation that has happened fast enough for us to witness it would be the Faroe Island Mice, Not gonna explain that one here, just google it.
vestigial organs - all humans are born with tailbones and some of people are actually born with tails. Blue whales still have leg bones in their fins. A python has a pelvis, which is a born unique to animals with legs, and if you skin them they have tiny undeveloped legs pressed into their muscles.
People against Evolution as about the missing link. The missing link isnt missing. We found it in 1974.
The fossil records prove that there are living creatures that exist today but did not exist a million years ago, and there are organism that existed a million years ago but dont exist now.
The only people that dont believe in evolution are the same stupid people that try and prove evolution is not real by saying "if humans evolved from monkeys why are there still monkeys" despite the fact that nobody has ever claimed that we did evolve from monkeys,
Creationist admit that there is something called microevolution, which causes minor changes, but they claim that Macro evolution is fake.... To that, honestly that is like standing on one side of a road, deciding that you want to cross it and go to the other said, taking one step and then declaring that its impossible to walk to the other side.
My point being this.... Evolution is a fact. And we are so confident in that, that the theory of evolution has nothing to do with if evolution happens or not, it simply explains how it happens

I am not believing the evolution. I believe in creationism but not the Bible creationism.

The debate is often described as “creationism vs. evolution,” as if the “ism” should not apply to “evolution.” But, this isn’t accurate, because believing in evolution, like believing in creation, requires acceptance of a certain presuppositional dogma and it requires placing one’s faith in a story about the unrepeatable past. To accept that worldview, you must have faith in a professor or textbook—or yet another secondhand source and that secondhand source’s interpretation. After all, not a single person was alive to see how life began or the supposed evolution of life on earth. Any argument or idea that makes claims about the unrepeatable past requires belief. We may have reasons (right or wrong) to believe what we believe, but we cannot go back in time to see if that belief is right.
They often claim: “Evolution is just as substantiated as the theory of gravity,” and they like to play on that word “theory.” But, everyone has observed an object falling at 9.8 meters per second squared. On the other hand, no one has observed life come from non-life (chemical evolution), or functional complex design come from non-intelligence, or the supposed common descent of all life. They are failing to differentiate between operational science (such as gravity) and historical science (interpreting evidence from the past). And, by the way, gravity as a scientific concept (an attractive force between two masses) was discovered by Sir Isaac Newton who just so happened to be a creationist. We have no problem with observable repeatable science. Our problem is with the Darwinian story-telling about the past.

Most of the time, people just give examples of natural selection or genetic drift and assume it points to undirected microbes-to-man evolution. Even young-earth creationists believe in natural selection and "speciation." Take a look at these:

I believe God created all through evolution. He is eternal. Billions of years to Him is like a second.

No one "believes in" evolution. You either accept it as a fact or you don't.
The majority of us Christians accept it as a part of God's design.

Neither. I understand evolutionary theory.

Evolution is a fact, the bible is a compilation of man made myths and some historical info.

Do you believe in the cornerstone principle of modern medicine and biology OR the creation myth from a predominantly illiterate bronze age culture?
If you define the terms properly there is no contest.

Biblical Creationism. The function and operation of the human eye convinces me thoroughly.
