Evolution doesn't need to have a creator to work. Creationism isn't scientific because it's an unfalsifiable claim. You must also keep in mind that the premise (there being a creator in the first place) hasn't been shown to exist or to be true.
Occam's razor works perfectly here, because by inserting a creator into the idea of evolution - you are creating many more questions than your theory answers.

It just seemed like they were hoping I would go snipe hunting with them so I would get lost in the dark. which is what someone has to do when presenting an apposing view. Again this is not an opposing view therefore we have the option to allow those who wish to hunt for "snipe" the freedom to do so, and likewise those who have better things to do with their time are free to do that as well.
Two things -
First, I would like evidence of your premise (a creator exists).
Second, I would like you to explain what evidence you have that shows that a creator is involved with evolution.

It doesn't because you first have to show that your premise is true in the first place. You haven't done so, at least not that I've read. From what I've read - you have asserted your premise is true and then concluded that a creator is involved with evolution somehow.
