Why do people believe in evolution?
There isn't a single proof for it. Why?

That's true. Proofs don't exist in scientific theories, only pieces of evidence do.
Boy, this guy fooled all of you

I'm a Christian. I believe in Creation. I believe that God also uses intelligent design in His creation. The idea of natural selection makes sense, and there is proof that it happens. The fossil record provides evidence, and looking at how different species develop before they are born provides some insights into primitive development.
The two ideas aren't mutually exclusive. Everything had to come from somewhere - something made the first cells animate - something created the carbon and protein.

Why do you believe in God? There isn't a single proof of it. Oh wait there is the bible my bad. This book that has some many things wrong with is your proof!
Are you f-ing retarded there is proof everywhere. Why don't you do a little research on it before you say there isn't any proof.
Here's a little tid bit of proof. What does the frog start out as? Oh yeah an the butterfly? Don't they become different creatures? Now what's that called again?

Is there another scientific explanation out there? Creationism isn't a science, and neither is Intelligent Design. Either could be taught in schools under different courses other than science. If you'd like to know more about evolution, and find the proof you can't seem to find, check out http://www.talkorigins.org/ .

My question exactly!
Everyone is born with a God-shaped hole is his or her heart. Nothing can satisfy the feeling of absolute emtiness, a hunger deep inside the heart, until the hole is filled with the Spirit of God. It is this God-shaped hole that drives us to seek Him. In other words, God created each person from birth to be a worshiper, and our souls will not rest until they're connected to God's spirit. Like a computer searching for a secure WiFi connection, we are designed by god to keep searching until we find the connection to Him, or until we're drained, like a battery, and shut down. People who do not worship God worship something, but it is always something far less than the Master and Creator of the universe. (2 Chronicles 7:22; Deuteronomy 11:16, 30:17; Mathew 6:24) ...basically they fill their head with ideas to fill the emptiness. But they will one day see the truth. I really hope I helped. God bless you, great question.

You can't prove anything...and, to say that "there isn't a single proof for it" doesn't make any sense. By the way, the only evidence for creation is evolution.

Ever hear the phrase "go with what you know?"
That is all that they have been taught from kindergarten on up! The ACLU makes it a point to keep Creation out of the schools. The evidence is out there! Checkout www.drdino.com. Kent Hovind has wonderful evidences even though his way of salvation is taken out of Biblical context!

Why do people believe in phonographs? There isn't any proof of phonographs...wait...
oh, why do people believe in documented cases and studies? Huh, tell me that if you're so smart!
Why is this in religion and spirituality is a better question...
I don't believe in you; there is no proof that you exist! Now go away before somebody drops a house on you too!

Yes, there is. You're just too uneducated or are ignoring it. Evolution has proof for its support, your god does not. Might as well just learn to accept it instead of deny it.

Here is my list. There is more, I just tried to stick with the easy to understand ones.
* Fossils - the order can be determined by stratification alone (no radiological dating) it is unarguable and life started simple and got more complex. Here is a simple chart to show what I mean: http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/fossils/succession.html
* Anatomical similarities between species.
* Chemical similarities between species.
* Mitochondrial DNA regressive studies. - This comes only from your mother and the only changes to it are through mutations. These mutations occur at a known rate, and converge world wide 150,000 years ago give or take. If Eve (6000 years ago) was the only female, it would be almost identical world wide. It is not. The flood gives a second bottleneck that matches the facts even less well.
* Geographic distribution of related species. Meaning related species are usually near each other.
* Wisdom Teeth - there isn't room on your jaw for them anymore.
* Your little toe - totally useless. Nice intellegent design here.
* Your appendix - totally useless now but it does digest cellulose in other species.
* Your inner eyelids - They don't even work now, but they do for lots of other animals like house cats. Bet you didn't even know you had 'em.
* Vestigial DNA - meaning chromosomes that we have but don't use, but that used in other species. We have several that other primates use but are totally useless to us.
* The fact that we share so much DNA among species
* There are no wild cows. They evolved through artificial selection and are totally man made.
* Different breeds of dogs, cats, livestock.
* Viruses and bacteria evolve quickly and you can actually see it. This is why you need a new flu shot every year.
* Your tail bone. It is even not that uncommon to be born with a tail.
* Goosebumps - this would be useful if we had fur because it fluffs it and make more insulation. For us it is worthless.
* The hair standing up on your neck when you are frightened. Animals use this to make themselves look bigger. Doesn't work when you walk upright and don't have fur.
* The fact that humans have gotten measurably and heritablely taller since the 1600s
* The fact that humans jaw have gotten measurably and heritablely smaller since the 1600s
* The fact that humans little toes have gotten measurably and heritablely smaller since the 1600s
* Human lower back problems. Your back is intelligently designed to have support from your shoulders.
* Transitional fossils - here is a list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_transitional_fossils
