Why do you fail to accept the theory of evolution? [Spirituality & Religion]

Do you understand it and still reject it? That i don't have much of a problem with.
But there are WAY too many creationists who say things like "evolution is just a theory!" and " if we evolved from apes, why are there still apes?!"

In short, their rejection comes from a place of ignorance.
I would love to clarify any issues with evolution you might have

I appreciate that you say understanding it whilst rejecting it is okay.

Personally I'm agnostic and I tend to lean toward christianity. I think that evolution never has happened and never will happen on a measurable level, but (here's where it gets confusing) I think it has had happened.

In other words, God created things with their evolutionary features, but skipped the evolution process. I hope that makes sense. It's like if I ask you to create a perfect boyfriend, you're not going to make him a fetus and wait for him to grow up; you're just gonna make him the age you want him to be.

And that's what God did. He made the Earth and its inhabitants already old and evolved upon creation.

Does that make sense?

Also, tell those people that we didn't come from apes lol. That's a myth.

@Celine: I don't think I have any faith at all because I'm still waiting for proof before I jump on the christian bandwagon. Can you please explain how that's a faith claim?

@Celine: Oh I see what you're saying. I didn't say I believe that; I said I think it. I'm fully aware of the possibility that God doesn't even exist.
