Because they haven't yet. Not one single solitary shred of CREDIBLE evidence exists for creationism.
On the other hand, there are mountains of evidence (and that just keep growing day by day) that supports Evolution.
This article for example;
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070405/ap_on_sc/mini_mutts
Shows that creationism is not only a lie, but a childish one at that. If creation was true, DNA would not mutate, there would be no reason for it to do so.
Sorry creationists, I know that your explanation of "god did it" is simple and easy, but it's utterly incorrect.
Science doesn't deal with the supernatural like fairies and leprechauns, so don't try and explain the facts surrounding Evolution with your childish mythology.
Deal?

Hex,
I'm not sure what your problem is, but I bet it's hard to pronounce!

Wow martin,
you're an outright moron did you know that?
Basically what you're saying is; "that's not evolution, because that's evolution!"
And you're not even intelligent enough to see it are you?
You have my pity.

hay "hey check out", it wasn't science that knew the earth was flat it was the church. Open a history book. Anyone who claimed otherwise was threatened with death.
"Perhaps you, my judges, pronounce this sentence against me with greater fear than I receive it."

And for ".......well ur dumb", I used to be in astronomy and space. Until i got tired of christians answering serious science questions with answers like "it's god's will" or "because that's how god wanted it" and my personal favorite..."open the bible you idiot, all the answers are there"
so the way i see it you keep your religion out of my science and i will keep my logic out of your fairy tail.

Hmmm, why does it have to be one and not the other. Why can it not be both? I believe evolution was inspired by a god, an intelligent being, an energy. There are still unexplainables. When you break an atom down to the nth degree you still get space. What is space, really. Creation was inspired by faith. I believe somewhere there is a balance. How can you create the universe in 7 days when a day has not been created yet. I know this cannot be a literal sense. I do know that some power is around us weather you calle it god or what. Don't be so angry in your point. You will not get anyone to listen to you that way.

I don't mean to sound harsh but why don't you spend less time trying to destroy the meaning and way of life for some people and try to find your own meaning. Oh yeah there is no meaning of life for you because you believe in nothing. Evolution can never be truly proven because life cannot simply emerge from simple non-living particles into organisms without some force behind it (God). If evolution were true then the original human would truly be in the image of God and God would allow human beings to change over time as he saw fit yet still allowing us to maintain his image. Trying to refute this statement will only create an infinite number of paradoxes for you. Hopefully it'll keep you occupied long enough for you to give up. By the way you just got owned by a 15 year old sophomore.

All you link shows is that evolution within a species is a demonstrable fact. What it doesn't show is how inanimate matter can take on life and organize itself into complex and interdependent life forms with miraculous capabilities that go beyond the understanding of science.
There is no "proof" of creation or macro-evolution because it happened long ago whichever theory you happen to favor. The arguments for creationism outside of the Biblical record are based upon logic.
Logically there should be no matter or anything else existing because we know that something cannot come from "nothing". Nothing by definition cannot produce something. Therefore the existence of anything is illogical unless you go outside of the time/space dimension that we are aware of and live in. Unless there is an uncaused first cause, a supernatural entity that exists outside of time and space that created the universe then you have to come up with some other explanation that doesn't just push the problem further back in time and dimensions.
What I mean by that is if you hypothesize some extra-dimensional, highly advanced aliens, then you still have to explain where they came from.

Evolution is a theory, and that is it. Your "Evidence" is circumstantial. DNA at times mutates because it was designed to for survival. Science itself has proven with "facts" that creation true. You and people like you just dismiss these facts. You pick and choose what you wish to believe as fact.
I would take the time to give you many facts to prove creation and tell you of many doctors, scientist and modern geniuses
who has proved with fact as well. The reson I am not is you would not believe it still.
"Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind."
"Highly developed spirits often encounter resistance from mediocre minds."
"The height of stupidity is most clearly demonstrated by the individual who ridicules something he knows nothing about." Albert Einstien
"I consider myself a creationist and I believe that God created the universe and the analysis that I've done has not changed that all. But I'm not a scientific creationist and people don't make a distinction between the two things."
"when the media talks about creationists, they are really talking about scientific creationists and when they are talking about evolutionists they are really talking about Darwinian evolutionists. " Professor Eugene Ashby.
By the way, through my studies in zoology and animal behavior I found a very interesting fact. Darwin was no more than a animal behaviorist.

The weight of evidence is only there because your only taught the evidence for. And much of that is supposition and "educated guesses" Explain your scientific method for testing Abiogenesis or spontaneous Generation? How can you test something that you think happened a couple of Billion years ago? What was the atmosphere and earth's climate like? Yet you accept as fact that that is how life started, without any proof or evidence at all. Why, because it had to if evolution is true. So your belief in the start of life is as much faith based as any Christian, or Creationist.

I have nothing against religion. Creationism, however, is a foolish and naive attempt by people completely ignorant of science to pretend that they have a say in the interpretation of science. People who believe in a god are not necessarily unreasonable to me. People who believe in creationism are fools, I believe. How would these people like it if scientists claimed to them that their religion was false because the god of science told them so. What a joke it is. That is what they are doing. They are pretending that their belief in god gives their interpretation of scientific evidence more weight that whatever interpretation scientists give it, solely because their god must be true.

Exactly, I used to be chrisitianity but then i realize what a phony it was, it was only created from ppl who were afraid of dieing, ppl then started believeing it because they want to know that their life wont end once they die, they want to know that they will live for eternity, thats what i believe. But then again u have to credit Religion for 1 of the main reasons why ppl are so good, If every1 in the world knew that when they die they wont go to heaven but just a black void of nonexsistence then they would think, "my lifes going to end anyway so whats the point of this crud"

The problem with creationism as a theory is not that it is necessarily wrong -- it is that it is necessarily useless, as it can predict nothing. Evolution has been established science for a century because it makes predictions that people find accurate and useful. Unlike most scientific theories, the theory of evolution is provable, and I have done so; details on request.

Evolution + Religion = Sensible Religion
I believe in God and evolution.
I don't believe in ancient Babylonian-based literalistic creation myths.
