I believe that intelligence is not some freak accident. Evolution does not cut it. Universe just amazing. Life beautiful and artistic and diverse. The bible by study it's origins and the wisdom and the knowledge is beyond it writers but sourced from far greater entities. Science has failed to convince me of anything different and that holes in theories exists and much that is accepted is debated and challenged then who is really sure of a positive answer? I believe the bible never changes and it's knowledge of diseases, quarantine, earth in space, earth is circular, the water cycle, prophesies from books many years before being fulfilled. Even present day prophesies of how mankind has become has been confirmed true. This knowledge is from the bible and it's accuracy is amazing. Even Jesus quoted from the hebrew scriptures.
Evolution is pushed at me from the media yet I can't accept it as an answer. Could you accept that I cannot accept the scientific models of creation.

You tell me not to tell you what to believe but I am told what I should believe all the time by must accepting evolution and big bang with no intelligence. Why the discrepancy?

Seems a little 2 faced there.

I really couldn't care less what you believe, but since you ask I have some questions for you.
Does it annoy you that I think chimpanzees are more closely related to humans than to other apes?
Does it annoy you to know that I think God is a myth that humans made up long ago because they didn't understand how the world worked and yet had a desperate need to know so they basically just made it up?
Does it annoy you to know that I think people that believe in creationism are just too stupid to figure out that it doesn't actually explain anything? If God created Man, who created God ... Super God? Who created Super God ... Super Duper God ...?
Does it annoy you that I think people who are waiting around for the second coming of Jesus are insane?
If any of my beliefs annoy you, please let me apologize. Ordinarily I would not have shared them with you, but given your question I felt like you had invited it.

If you want to believe that the Stinky Cheese Man created the universe last week, that is your right. And I personally don't care. The only time I will care is if you try to get StinkyCheeseism taught to my children in a public school.
Intelligent Design is nonsense, and if you don't understand that, then you simply haven't done your homework. Seriously, you just don't know the facts. And that's okay. But the reason evolution is "pushed on you" by the media is the same reason they push the "earth is round" theory on you.
Whether you want to believe it or not... uhm, it's still the truth.
Edit - Regarding your directed comment to me... I do hope you realize that the Intelligent Design idiots are trying their damndest to get their nonsense taught in science classes, right? If you're not aware of this, then... maybe you should watch the news, as well.

You know, it was just a year or two ago that scientists "discovered" that eating meat & cheese together wasn't very healthy. The bible told us that long ago. We could learn a lot by paying attention to what He told us.
I believe in evolution, I know that humans get taller with each generation, and supposedly smarter. We're obviously less hairy than poor old Esau, our skin and hair lightened as we moved into colder regions, so evolution is fact. We never evolved from apes of course, humans evolved from primative humans, but that doesn't mean evolution doesn't exist, it does, just not the way so many are trying to convince us it does. Science and creation go hand in hand, science is simply the explanations for God's handiwork.

For a loving God who wanted to create a universe solely to provide a home for human beings, and to bring his plan of salvation to fruition, would never have invented this universe, but something quite different. But if there is no God, then the universe we actually observe is exactly the sort of universe we would expect to observe. In other words, if there is no God then this universe is the only kind of universe we would ever find ourselves in, the only kind that could ever produce intelligent life without any supernatural cause or plan. Hence naturalist atheism predicts exactly the kind of universe we observe, while the Christian theory predicts almost none of the features of our universe. Indeed, the Christian theory predicts the universe should instead have features that in fact it doesn't, and should lack features that in fact it has. Therefore, naturalism is a better explanation than Christianity of the universe we actually find ourselves in.

Yes - I believe the same as you. You cannot get mad at people for believing in evolution - it is more accepted than creationism. But standing firm (yet giving others grace and loving them as Jesus would) in your beliefs is a good thing. Don't get frustrated with evolutionists, just like you don't want them to be frustrated with you. Just because you believe different things doesn't mean that you can't get along.

I don't get nearly as annoyed by your religious beliefs as I do by the poor grammar of this question. This symbol "," is called a comma, and should be placed in the natural pauses between the clauses of a sentence. Also, throwing in the occasional verb will help move those sentences along.

People think that creation is a stupid crazy idea and they dont even see how stupid evolution is and how faulty it is while creation cant be proven wrong and has always been around (because its true) rather than being made up one day by some guy

If you can accept that I don't agree with your views, then I will accept your belief. The only time I have a problem with creationism is when people try to force it on everyone else.

Go on and believe it if you want. Just understand that no one is going to take it seriously since it is grounded in mythology. Also, don't expect people to teach it in public school. If you want to believe it and makes you happy go right ahead. No one is going to force you to believe something else.
I'd suggest you be prepared for a lot of debating in your life though.
