The reason why Christians are against evolution is that in Genesis it is said God made world in 7 days. Hindus too have creation myths like Christianity and every other religions in the world. But I have not yet seen any anti evolution or even anti Big Bang wesite run by Hindus. Why is it?

The anti-evolution thing is mainly run by conservative Christians out of the USA, elsewhere even Christians do not have a problem with evolution.
Strangely the only other significant grouping who do have a problem are conservative Muslims.... go figure.

Well we hold that God created everything and set things in motion a long time ago. Evolution kind of counts among those things, I think, along with the general laws of physics.
It's interesting how some of the stories in Hinduism actually can be related to phenomena that occurred during the development of the Earth. For example, it is said that Vishnu incarnated as Lord Varaha and saved the Earth from deluge by carrying it out of the ocean. You can kind relate that to the fact that, billions of years ago, the Earth was pretty much an ocean of lava and in time, that lava cooled and solidified into the crust.

Hindus believe in reincarnation and reincarnation is a process of evolution. Your spirit evolves in several stages of life as you embodies several physical forms to experience life on earth through karmic cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

Most Christians are not against evolution because most Christians are not Old Testament Fundamentalists.

Check their calender - they believe in a Universe older than the one physicists postulate!
There are longer periods of a year in their calender - the longest which I think is a day of Brahma is like 10,000,000,000 years.
I know the Universe is older but I think they believe more than one of those 'days' have passed.

They beleive in reincarnation. That is just a sophisticated form of evolution.

Because Hindus aren't pussys, and know how to take it when someone tells them they are wrong. They have better things to do.
