Why do people believe this?
What is there that makes them accept this unsupported proposition?
Christianity is not science. At the end of the day it is a matter of faith and reason. My reason to believe is multifaceted but I regard the Scripture as being accurate because of its ability to reliably predict the future.
Concerning evolution, I don't regard it as being scientific. If you called it a faith, that would make more sense to me. One thing I would like to know is, what are the stages of the evolution of humans? Apart from neanderthals, what was the progenitor to humans? And what was the progenitor to that?
So the type of evidence that you require to accept the scripture as reliable is different than the kind of evidence you require to accept the theory of evolution as reliable? Again...you don't see a major contradiction here? Which type of evidence do you employ when evaluating other supernatural claims like say...ghosts, or poltergeists? Science? Or the other?
Either way, as Rob mentioned somewhere, attempting (and failing) to poke holes in evolutionary science is not positive evidence for a designer. It never will be.
