Whilst doing so, bear in mind that there's no experimental evidence whatsoever to support it!
Duck, belief that something is false is not the same as not believing that something is true. In terms of what I said above to BH, I don't believe that M-theory is a valid description of the way the universe works, because there's no evidence to support such a belief. However, I dont believe it to be false, since if anyone ever manages to get a solid prediction out of it, it may well turn out to be true.

A great book I'd recommend that addresses all of your issues with evolutionary biology is Dawkins' Climbing Mount Improbable.
You didn't really address the main part of my question. Why do you believe what you do? What makes you think that it is true?
