In response to a comment below yes I am asking sincerely. I want to know what creationists think evolution is.

Evolution has taken many different aspects over the years and several versions are still in play.One school holds that there is gradual change that leads to transition,there has been little fossil evidence to prove this .The fossils record usually shows stasis for long periods then replacement.The other school is radical mutation due to catastrophe.Again there is no real evidence to prove this.
The burden of proof lies with the one putting forth the theory.In order to show proof you would have to generate a transitional creature by natural means in a laboratory and then be able to reproduce it consistently.
I do not accept either creationism or evolution as they are presented today.I do lean toward creationism because it takes into account more of the things stated in the Bible and I am a Christian.
Being a Christian does not mean that you should reject good science but it does mean you shoul question unfounded supposition.Much of evolution is just that.

There are several types of evolution.
1) Cosmic, how the universe started.
2) Galactic, how galaxies came to be.
3) Solestrial, how solar systems were formed.
4) How life started on earth.
5) Micro evolution, how one thing develops new breeds.
Only number 5 is science, we know that one breed of dog has developed from other breeds, and a new breed of tulips came from other kinds of tulips.
The other 4 types of evolution are theories, not science. Evolutionist say that because #5 is true than the others are true also, but that does not make the other 4 true.

hmmm...according to evolutionists. There were a bunch of chemicals in a tide pool, and after alot of electrical discharges occured and the chemicals became concentrated, some chemicals bonded with others, which bonded with others, to become amino acids, then somehow these amino acids found each other before disolving again and managed to merge together to make a more complex organism.
Once there was enough of these cells hanging about, then mutated and somehow created more information for them to change into other stuff. And somehow all this other stuff just happened to work together just right. And that is the story of how we became humans in a nutshell.
Of course, I think that is more of a story than that of a wonderful Creator who created this wonderful, diverse, exceptional world we live in.

Creatures do evolve. I believe that we were Created but that doesn't mean that nothing has evolved since. Things change. It is survival of the fittest. Do you really think that the Cockroach was created to withstand Nuclear Fallout? I mean WHAT Nuclear fallout was around at that time? That is called EVOLUTION. You ask about man evolving. Yeah we evolve as well. To those who don't understand that we were made in God's image. God is a SPIRITIAL BEING. That means our SPIRIT is his image. Our body is simply a vessel though. How else can we all look so different and still be in God's image?

I'm not a creationist but i went to a christian school and the science teacher there told me that the theory of evolution said one day a fish thought to himself "i would like to be a frog now" then pop it was a frog. the scarey thing is some of the people in that class believed her

Nope.
The science of Evolution is complicated. We have no handwaving arguments that amount to "god did it" in science. We leave such childish "logic" to christians.
But, if you are sincerely asking, then I direct you to the link below. It may enlighten you, but only if you read it. If you can't be bothered to learn, then my time is wasted here.

Why ask a creationist to explain it? That's like asking a vegetarian to describe how a medium well steak tastes.

The mechanism of evolution is God, of course.
Nothing can happen without God.

Oh, Mr. Yeti, they can't. They all have it mixed up with monkeys in their minds.
