Why is it that evolutionists don't just say that they do not want to acknowledge God and that they just won't, even though he created everything. They have to hide behind the undefendable theory of evolution and they are constantly trying to invent some new way to defend what they supposedly believe..
Why not be honest and just say it?

I really should have said "theories" as there are more than one theory of evolution and they don't all agree with each other.

It has nothing to do with not wanting to acknowledge God. Evolution is simply what happens, regardless of whatever religious fables you want to hold on to.
Maybe some religious people need to be honest, and admit that the reason they refuse to accept evolution is that it threatens their already flimsy and totally unprovable beliefs.
BTW, how do you explain the Catholic church, which has accepted evolutionary theory?
Do you realize that if you were alive 400 years ago, you'd have been attacking Galileo for proving that the Earth wasn't at the center of the universe? You are doing EXACTLY the same thing -- attacking science and logic, because you think it takes something away from the special status your religion affords you in the universe.
Evolution is really nothing to be afraid of. It's not a deliberate attack on God. It's just THE WAY IT IS. Wouldn't you rather follow scientific truth than a religious fable?
On second thought, don't answer that.

I do not acknowledge god. And I just won't, because there's no evidence that he created anything. I talk about the theory of evolution, which explains how every being on this planet is related to one another and how we got to be that way. I don't need to invent anything to defend evolution, but it does take some studying.

Undefendable theory.
You ask us for proof positive that we evolved and in the same breath try to make us believe that an invisible person living in the sky just sort of snapped his fingers one week and created everything from nothing.
Suuure. Ok. Now Im a believer. Feel better?

And yet there is evidence to support it and no evidence to suggest that any god, let alone yours, created everything in its current form.
Additional Details
You really should have no said anything as your continuation just proves how much of a dunce you are. Evolution theory is pretty solid and not in conflict with itself. It's not 100% but that's due to limitations in technology, findings, etc - not because it's disproven.
My advice, either stay in school or go back to it.

I'd be perfectly happy accepting any scientifically valid, logically consistent evidence for an alternative theory. Simply because I value truth, and logically disproving a false theory brings us closer to an accurate theory. That's how science works. A scientist who disproves evolution would probably win a Nobel Prize, and would certainly make millions from TV appearances and book deals.
By contrast a creationist who accepts evolution isn't likely to be rewarded with anything. Unless they consider truth to be a reward, but in that case they probably wouldn't have been a creationist in the first place.

Why don't christians just tell the truth?

you obviously don't understand what a theory is. Scientist don't sit around making up theories to defend what they believe and then run around trying to find ways to support it. Scientists look at all the facts that they have and then come up with theories that best explain the facts. Evolution would have been chucked out the window years ago if it couldn't stand up to scientific examination, but it has
Creationism is not a theory because it is not testable and has no evidence

Evolution is a scientific theory that has nothing to do with God. Unlike creationism it is based on fossil evidence and carbon dating etc. The main difference between with evolution and the Creationist hypothesis is that evolution can make predictions. Such as viruses will become resistant to drugs eg. HIV. This has already happened with the likes of MRSA. Can creationism make any predictions? I think not.

Alright, alright - you got me.
I just didn't want to acknowledge 'god'... Of course he created everything. Evolution is undefendable.
I don't know why I couldn't just accept the idea that a magic man in the sky created everything, and that if I don't do what he says, that I will burn forever in a pit of fire.
But he loves me.
I don't know why it's so hard to just accept that...

Wow.
Never set foot in a science classroom, huh? Evolution is a fact, it can be observed. It is happeneing constantly, all around us. For an easy example, look at diseases.
The Theory of Evolution is widely regarded as the best model for how life has changed over time. And it is accepted by almost everyone with an IQ over 100.
