How can anyone not believe in evolution?

I have complete faith in the natural and inevitable process of life/death, and no faith at all in anyone who claims to know about God.
 
My issue with evolution or non/creationism is that nobody can really explain how the first dot was plotted.

Like AA said earlier, with the big bang, a bunch of gases and rocks and dust, how were they formed? Matter can't be created or destroyed, so how did they become existent to begin with?

Maybe it's because my human brain is too stupid to understand anything more complex. But here's how I look at it:

I cannot comprehend everything starting from zero. That does not seem scientifically possible.

I can comprehend an all-powerful intelligent designer who set all of the wheels in motion. This is actually more rational (to me) than everything starting from NOTHING.

I generally hold the worldview that God created the substance needed to give us our universe today. And from there, science took its course (as designed).

Just because you can't comprehend something, doesn't mean God did it. In that sense, you're creating a god to bridge the gap between your understanding of the world and what you do not know.

I'm not saying there isn't a God. I'm just saying, that's not good enough.

Of course it's easier to say God did it.

I'm not arguing otherwise. But scientifically, starting from zero is impossible

+ infinity

to argue that something came out of nothing is foolishness, it is not possible. When everything began, you and I do not know it, but it sure in hell is not the Big Bang.
 
An all powerful intelligent designer that transcends time; a being that created us in its own image on a planet somewhere in the boondocks of the universe is more plausible?

Who did all of this? Obviously a man. A male human god being that is omnipresent and all knowing.

I mean...it's possible.

Then God is a racist and there is no such things as aliens, if that is the case.

This is why I love you as a poster AA. We don't know how it started but it sure as hell didn't start this way. If the Big Bang couldn't have happened why is the universe still expanding?

It is based on science I've been taught and my limited understanding. Can you prove otherwise?

No one can truly prove otherwise. We can discuss what we think happened but no one will know with 100% certainty.

But you should probably relearn the big bang theory. It discusses creation of matter as we know it.
