I used to buy creationism. But it was because I grew up in a muslim country where evolution has been kept out of schools for so long that my knowledge of it was limited to knowing the words "theory of evolution". And since no one ever talked about it I only heard of it once or twice in my entire life and dismissed it.
Then I went to university here in Toronto, did my required readings for a course on evolution, and it was immediately apparent that creationism is bullshit, and evolution is true.
The thing is, I don't think anyone can claim to think evolution is not sufficiently proven if they actually go learn about it. Unless they're being intellectually dishonest, and attempting to lie to themselves. Or you have a very high standard for evidence (which you cannot claim with a straight face if you believe in creationism).
If you really think evolution isn't real, don't debate with atheists, do yourself a favour and learn about what it really is. (If you're still waiting for transitional forms then you don't know what it really is, if you still think that gays are unexplained, and morals and alturism are unexplained, you don't know what evolution is.) If you don't trust scientists, fine, read 10 evolution books by scientists (who most probably dedicated their lives to their work), then read 10 creationism books by Christians (who dedicated their lives to convince you that your god is real). Then ask yourself what you really think happened. If you still intend to "convert" people into creationism by the end of that, at least you'll be well informed.
