I believe in creation and the evolutionary pressures described by Darwin.
You can track some of these genetically by studying movement of population and thus Genetic Drift over time. Also, you can observe inbreeding coefficient of a closed population. Examining many of these factors confirms the theory of evolution, but, keep in mind the framework for this theory still has not been completely flushed out.
For instance, the fossil record has yet to fill in all the gaps so we can trace animal linneages back through the fullness of time. No one has been able to demonstrate how life could evolve, nor, how such a diversity of creatures could have bloomed in such a relatively "evolutionary" short interval of time.
The idea that all of these different organisms sprouted randomly, is statistically improbable given the relatively short time periods involved. This is where intelligent design fits nicely.
A theory is not a hypothesis that is falsifiable, but, rather some explanation given afterwards to explain the results. Their is no experiment one can set up to test Evolution its not falsifiable, so, its a theory. Same with the theory that Global warming is caused by burning fossil fuels and the theory that cigarettes cause lung cancer. I don't disagree that there isn't evidence to make a case for these things, but a theory is just the best explanation that someone can come up with. A theory cannot be prooven.

The theory of evolution is based on probability. The odds of probability for this world and the life on just happened would be like throwing a dart at a dart board with a buul's eye that you couldn't see and hitting it. That is how absurd the theory of evolution is. Yet all the smartest people in the world swear by it. Its no wonder most science is wrong. Only a few geniouses every now and then get it right. The rest of them think they understand it.

many Creationists believe in the theory of Evolution! They call themselves "Evolutionists" -Its a joke....
....I think you might want to rephrase the question as " Creationists, what is your opinion on the "Theory of Evolution"?
just a quick note: A theory is based on Hypotheses that are repeatable results that stand the test of time. I think some people are confusing the word "Theory" with "Observation", when they say "Its just a Theory" A theory has an awful lot of experimentation and repeatability behind it.
are all Theories correct? Nope...but science openly welcomes challenges...that is what the test of time is...if a Theory (based on repeatable experimentation) is not disproved, it still stands...until something can disprove it...with better experimentation, measurements etc.
....So..."Evolution is just a theory" really is not a good argument.

Not really,at least in the part of mankinds creation.I think it is mathamatically unfeasable a physically weak,less intelligent creature with a slow procreation rate could survive let alone progress in a world of predators,disease,habitat,etc... unless enough specimens developed all at once which would require a number in the tens of thousands for it to be possible,and the idea of evolution contradicts that scenario of happening.
I would be interested if someone provided a link or something that might make this clearer to me.

Not as an explanation of how life started.
Not as an explanation of how different species came into existence.
I believe it explains how small differences over time can modify species.
It is too inefficient to explain how in only 14 billion years of universal existence and about 4 billion years on earth life began and blossomed into such a rich diversity of advanced life forms.

No....evolutionists confuse adaptation and mutation with something evolving...God put us here for a reason...Jesus gave us a way to get there...Better think things through before it is too late......God Bless You!!! (No, we aren't relatives of monkeys..lol...hahahah...amoeba's that crawled out of the ocean and decided one day"hey, i'm gonna be a human being some day..lol)God still loves the non believers though !

"Believe in", is the operative phrase. One must have faith inorder to accept the theory.
I lack faith in the theory.
I do accept that it is the predominant theory today regarding the origins of man.
That doesn't mean it's right.

Hmmm, now that would be a find would it not? A creationist who believed in Evolution. I do not think that you will find such.

Creationism and evolution are mutually exclusive.
