The reason I don't believe in evolution is because there is a lot of evidence against it.(youtube links below)

Earth is 6,000 years old
He opens with "Two timelines, one which the bible is saying and one which evolution is saying"
No. Geography. Also the bible has no more say on the age of the earth than any other book. Cold hard data is what you need.
He then goes on to explain those timelines. His analysis of the literal biblical timeline is fine, then he gets to the big bang theory and is much less so. He say's it was 20 billion years ago then drastically downplays everything from then til now, as well as completely misrepresenting abiogenesis and how life works. Life forms didn't just "appear", it's a complicated and multi stepped process. Life doesn't have an "interest" in reproducing itself, it was reproducing long before it could be called life. We're less than two minutes in and he's already either lying or demonstrating gross ignorance as to the topic he's arguing against.
Again, his biblical argument is fine. When he gets back to talking about geography though, he talks about the idea that older rocks are under younger rocks (Principal of something or other, I forget) as if it were a law. It's not. It's a principal. A guidline. It doesn't always hold true. Scientists are aware of this, it's not a problem for them.
Oh god no. Oh, GOD no. **** this. I'm 6 minutes and 20 seconds in and he's talking about taxonomy. Worms, fish, frogs, cats, chimpanzee, human is how he says it is. This is much closer, but not even halfway, to how it really is.

We have more more proof of evolution than we do of gravity. I'm sure all the evidence was manufactured just to fool us for some strange reason.

If you're going to post evidence against evolution, can you please post it in a form other than long videos on youtube? I don't deal with long videos well, my attention span fades in and out. If you've got something textual, I'd be happy to respond to it. As for the videos, I'll do my best, so brb.

hears a more you know. God created the world and what not. He does this through nature (big bang). Since God is eternal he doesn't live inside of time but created time. so when the bible says the world is created in 7 days, it shouldn't be taken in a literal way since time doesn't apply to God. then God creates human (evolution) and also God didn't create only one man and woman to start. it just to represent man and woman in the fall of creation. not everything in the bible should be taken in a literal way.

hahaha not offended and can't help u their but explain how u find it loose. also its not like I'm a pro on the subject but i did study catholic doctrine. and faith in God is needed. also it makes sense God does it this way because God created the world so he reveals himself in his creation kinda like signing a artwork. personally i find it hard to believe God didn't take part in creation and even if u look back u need something to start everything in motion.

yeah i think that sometimes when i look at it too but theres a lot of times you see different interpretations in the bible. like Catholics believe God fully revealed himself after Jesus but man has not fully understand God. i mean i can't say God's plan on how he revealed himself to man. like people spend their whole life studying God so when i study it its not the easiest thing to understand. Though actually doctrine can be almost like philosophies. it can be interesting. i just hate seeing people who haven't read the bible or study doctrine talk about how God can't be real. and like Paschal Wager i think its a losing situation to be a Atheist as my personal opinion

This varies a lot. Most Christians I know believes in God and follows the teachings of Jesus, but doesn't really care about stuff like Adam and Eve, or if God is real or not. Of course they think that God is real, but it can't be proven either way, and shouldn't be put in focus. It's not like the Bible hasn't been edited a billion times, so the only thing that's important in Christianity is Jesus' teachings.

Christianity is essentially the teaching of Christ. You shouldn't just disregard everything else, of course, but this is what's important. Even here there is some ****. For example, in the Bible it says that you go to hell if you don't believe in Jesus. No one I know believes that, and is one of the things that's put in there to get people to convert.

That's what I like about Christianity. No one really forces you to believe or do anything you don't want. There is no brainwashing. I'm Christian and I don't even believe in heaven and hell. I just follow Christ's teachings. Love thy neighbor. Follow the ten commandments.

The Bible was edited several times (mostly cause of the Catholic church) long after Jesus was dead.
"Love thy neighbor. Don't care about his skin or orientation. Be accepting of people who are different than you. Also, if you don't believe in me, you go to hell no matter what."

As arkfire said and was negative thumbed for, that's simply not true. There is an incredibly distinct difference between saying that Christianity accepts the theory of evolution (which is does not) and stating that it's not directly in conflict with many of Christianity's teachings.

i wish the people at my school would at least read or study a little bit about evolution before dismissing it, but instead they listen to a teacher, who claims a lot of ******** like, "i prayed to a person with Spina bifida, and amazingly before my eyes it bent and healed to normal."

Oh here's the way it works, I believe in God, but I believe he made the main roots of all animals. I don't exactly believe in the whole "Adam and Eve" part of the bible, for the bible has been changed a good amount for how long it has been passed on. So basically my theory is that god created Earth but it wasn't just like "BOOM! ANIMALS OUT OF ****** NO WHERE!" It was much more of a soft change

It's pretty ridiculous to think that the original story of the creation of the world was messed up. Even if it was slightly messed up, there isn't much room for evolution. Also, if one part of the bible is messed up, then how do we know if the core beliefs aren't also messed up?

Right. I figure that Christianity has more evidence for it than other religions, because it wasn't created within one time period. The Bible was created over a very long time, and the fact that it's even coherent is impressive. But evolution has a lot of evidence too, so I don't know.
