There is an endless amount of evidence to support Darwin's theories. To believe in biblical creationism you have to have faith because there is almost no evidence to support it. My question would be why do evolution and creationism have to be mutually exclusive? In other words wouldn't it be possible for evolution to be the mechanism through which the creator creates?

Personally, I've done research on the subject and I have found just as much "evidence" supporting evolution as creation. Why I put evidence in quotes is because both creationists and evolutionists have the same earth, the same universe, the same facts to work with to find their conclusions. What the question comes down to is where is your presuppositions. Every person in the world has presuppositions. The evoutionist assumes evolution and looks at a fossil and says "Evolution is great and real becuase it made this. How does this fossil validate evolution?" The biblical creationist looks at a fossil and says "God is great because he has made this. How does this creature glorify God?" I believe that God created all things. There is too much complexity in this universe for things to have evolved. Science deals with what can be observed. No one was around 6 or 8 billion yrs. ago to watch the big bang. God was around 6000 yrs. ago to make the earth and to create time itself.
Do you want to put your faith in a religious ideal dressed up as science which as science has been denied by 400 major scientists from some of the top colleges and universities in the nation, which "scientific" thought keeps changing or do you want to put your faith in a God who does not change?

With Darwinism, people can take Darwins observations, ideas, etc. and re-create them and get the same results as Darwin did. TO A POINT. For example, alligators have not changed over millions of years, but Darwin said all life changes and adapts thru time.
Bibical creation is based on the writings of several men who lived thousands of years ago. Since we cannot see God, Angels, or even souls, we either BELIEVE they exist, or we BELIEVE they do not.
Again, another example. When the wind blows on you, you cannot see it, but that does not prove it does not exist. You just cannot see it. So there is NO POSITIVE PROOF that God exist, or does not! One day we will find the answer. But not yet.
My belief is that God exist, but he let's us live our lives as we choose. Right or wrong.

Because there is a lot of evidence and observations supporting evolution as a science. There is no evidence for creationism.
But creationism is a religion, as such it does not need evidence.
So those who look at the evidence understand and accept evolution. Darwinism is just one explaination for the observation of evolution.

My theory is because there is much more physical evidence to support evolution than spontaneous creation. Just think about it we have (in our lifetimes) seen other species evolve like some fish, reptiles and other mammals. Due to that fact we now KNOW evolution is a real thing, that really happens. If those species could evolve why is it so hard to believe that us humans could have evolved too?

Everyone has their own thoughts on our creation, if we weren't opionated we sure wouldn't have a website like this one to debt questions.
There are so many unanswered questions going either way that noone really knows for sure, but theories are theories and we take in our beliefs and run with it.

We've observed speciation in recent years, but there have been no direct observations of G-d in the past 1,970 years.
With science, you can make your own observations and come to your own conclusions, and get them published if they make sense.
With Biblical Creation, you have to take Moses's word for it.

You can form and test a hypothesis around the theory of evolution. There's no way to demonstrate creationism, intelligent design, or whatever you want to call it.

Because there is no logical reason or scientific proof that some guy called God said, "Let there be light" and boom, there was the sun. And how in the world can a piece of fruit all of the sudden give you great insight to the things around you. And lastly, if God is so great, why did he want Adam and Eve to remain stupid and naked. Quite the perv if you ask me...

because there is an evidence of the theory of evolution compared to the biblical creation.
