"Look upon creation and tell me theres no God!".
Circular reasoning floursheth in the religious mind! What evidence is there that anything was created?
The scientific support for evolution is overwhelming, and I hate to tell you but the its based on the idea that everything is a product of chance and not creation.
Part of the problem is that people assume we are a creation or the product of creation and cant get their minds around the alternative possiblity that we are products of change and chance.
Whether or not you believe the support for every facet of evolution is strong doesnt take away from the fact the evolution perfectly explains how life forms developed over billions of years. The question of "what happened before that" cannot bear upon the reality of how humans developed. We know for certain how they did...right now.
Evolution, without doubt, takes all religion and throws it out the window. Whether some kind of God could still exist is dubious but unproven.

Creation is not a religious word. Many Christians believe in evolution, also not a Christian word.
GOD BLESS YOU

"You see, the religious people -- most of them -- really think this planet is an experiment. That's what their beliefs come down to. Some god or other is always fixing and poking, messing around with tradesmen's wives, giving tablets on mountains, commanding you to mutilate your children, telling people what words they can say and what words they can't say, making people feel guilty about enjoying themselves, and like that. Why can't the gods leave well enough alone? All this intervention speaks of incompetence. If God didn't want Lot's wife to look back, why didn't he make her obedient, so she'd do what her husband told her? Or if he hadn't made Lot such a sh!thead, maybe she would've listened to him more. If God is omnipotent and omniscient, why didn't he start the universe out in the first place so it would come out the way he wants? Why's he constantly repairing and complaining? No, there's one thing the Bible makes clear: The biblical God is a sloppy manufacturer. He's not good at design, he's not good at execution. He'd be out of business if there was any competition."
"The Earth is an object lesson for the apprentice gods. 'If you really screw up,' they get told, 'you'll make something like Earth.'"

So you're saying that to believe in God, one has to believe in creationism? But what if evolution is true, couldn't the same God have created evolution?

Creation could be self-created.

No. it is just a word. It can have many meanings, not all of them religious.
