Feel I should know ask the question...Why the hell do we have to point the finger at someone all the time!
Why is it so hard to believe that this world was a 'fluke.' Also, in my opinion, creationism requires a HELL of a lot more faith than believing in the theory of evolution. Evidence for that theory is everywhere, also have you ever seen a picture of what the second creation story in Genesis actually describes...?
THE WORLD DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THAT!
Anyway, my question is...Why is it so hard for people to believe that this world creation was the result of a random sequence of events...Or, an addcident. Why do we have to blame God?

Many people find it easier to believe in a "personification" of a superior entity, as it gives their lives meaning and neatly tidies up all of those nagging questions about the Universe. It is far easier to sit back and claim that an unsubstantiated being created everything than it is to look for the actual answers, regardless of where they might lead.

Because there is no such thing as randomness. Whenever I shuffle a deck of cards, the probability of the top card being a Jack of Spades is always either 1 or 0 depending on how I mix the cards up. Whenever I roll a dice, the laws of physics govern the force applied, the bounce and spin once it strikes the table and the eventual settling in a certain orientation. There is only that which we know and that which we do not.
In a universe governed by finite laws and finite matter, there is no chance. There is only cause and effect. Even conscious thought is the result of chemical and physical interaction.
People blame God or probability for the simple reason that they will not accept that reality is entirely linear. They have to feel somehow that choice or freedom is involved, and are deluding themselves in this. It might be a useful delusion, but that it is nonetheless.

The bible account is hard to believe, but the theory of evolution is even harder to believe as it now stands. Someone at some future date, may correct that.
But your statement that evidence for evolution is all around us, beggars belief. The problem is if you ask biologists, is that any evidence for evolution is in short supply. The intricacy of the structure of even the most basic organisms is so complex, that design is hard to rule out.

Like I said in my answer to the same question as manforallseasons - for those who use the 'proof' that the world is too perfect for it not to be created by God, I would suggest that it was a lot more perfect before religion reared its ugly head.
