Why is it that Creationists say there's no evidence for evolution but accept God's existence on faith?

Question

They claim that evolution is just a "theory" with no proof but then accept their religion purely on faith with no evidence.  Makes no sense.

uh hello?
Evolution was God's idea
He created it
And saying that beings as great as human beings came from a big bang is like saying millions of words exploded and somehow fell into place as a dictionary 
yeah no....doesn't happen

Because you'd have to be a moron to believe in evolution. Where did the first particle of matter come from to evolve? case closed.. grow a brain dingus.

Faith is a type of knowledge. Its an understanding of the nature of God, not a leap. Very rational actually.

old advice · Answer

If you want to believe you came into being from a monkey then why do we still have monkeys?
God is the intelligence that created everything from nothing. 
If you have nothing to start with, it is impossible for anything to happen and that includes the so called big bang.

An empty void needs an intelligence to start our creation.
 People who don't want to believe in God do not want to answer to him.

They're completely brainwashed. Their idea that there is no evidence for evolution is so horribly wrong. No intelligent functioning human being would think that.

There is no proof for evolution, but the evidence strongly fits with the Biblical account of creation in Genesis. Both are based on Faith.

I don't believe in evolution for the same reason you don't believe in God. I believe in God for the same reason you believe in evolution.

Your question makes no sense.

Apparently you haven't seen all of the posts by Christians talking about how science and "truth" are of the Devil and how you shouldn't listen to scientists or historians.

Just wondering · Answer

They believe that the beauty and wonder of life and nature has no other explanation than God.

Their only evidence is the Bible. They'll say that any proof of evolution is a lie because it's not in their book.
Then they'll say that you don't understand it because you won't let their god into your life. Same bullcrap over and over again..

Edit: See? Jack and "MOMMAH" proved my point.
