It depends on whether you want to believe in a happy fairy-tale ending fantasy or a cold hard reality. Personally, I have to go with the reality - evolution.
Sometimes though, I wish I wasn't so intelligent so that I would be able to believe in the fantasy that everything happens because a god wanted it that way or that when someone I love dies they go up and live in a happy place up in the clouds. That sounds so much nicer than just being dead. I don't blame people for wanting to believe in a god. It makes them happier. I never try to convince them that there isn't a god like other atheists do. That is like telling all the little kids that there is no such thing as Santa Claus.
But being an intelligent realist that I am, I know that evolution and the big bang is the reality and that creationism is just a myth started by people a long time ago and carried on through the generations until it got out of hand and brainwashed most of the people on Earth.

Creation makes more sense bcuz look around u. U see amazing things and see every single person who is different. The y say evolution did all this but it just seems like everything in this universe has a purpose and design. Only a Creator could do this, not evolution.

If only creation said that God created primates which then followed the course of evolution, then the two conflicting doctrines could propose a peace treaty and co-exist but until then, there will be continous unyield conflict - Although according to my religion I should believe in creation, Evolution seems far more reasonable to me given the limited scope of human logic. I once had a teacher who said yes sure, primates existed but God endowned them with the spirit of higher intellect and consciousness, so it one of those things that we simply can't prove. Whatever makes sense to you, is what you should believe.

ok heres my theory
If I take a muffler from a Prosche
some gas
a steering wheel from a dodge
tires, some rims from a Sation Wagon
and throw some nuts and bolts in my pile from Home Depo
then I toss them all up in the air and when all my parts land on the ground it becomes a mercedes benz (that would be pretty cool uh!)
The fact is the same for evolution and the big bang
Everything has a creator
nothing evolves
God created everything end of discussion

To be more specific. God created us human being and all the creation reflects his infinite power. Think about the mountain, seas, space. Evolution is just part of God's way of producing life.

Of course creatures evolved. And of course there were creatures very similar to modern man. But the missing link is found in the Book of Genesis.
Genesis 1:1 indeed says, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth".
But verse 2 says, "And the earth was without form, and void;..."
What does God create that is not perfect? Nothing. So what happened between verse 1 and verse 2? How many years passed? How many creatures and species evolved and died off? How many ice ages came and went? How many space bodies struck the earth? Why is the earth tilted on it's axis? The answers to all these questions are lost in the millenia between verse 1 and verse 2.

NOT mutually exclusive. The smarter guys in the game are arguing that the creation plan involved and involves evolution, so there's no dispute after all.
