Mike... no one cares. Seriously, your belief is totally your business. Go ahead and believe whatever you want. Believe that a giant three-uddered cow with the wings of an eagle squirted cosmic milk into the swirling void if it'll make you happy.
The thing is, hearing about faith is like hearing about dreams, or sexual fantasies, or drug trips. It's no doubt all sorts of profound if it's your own. But hearing someone else's is just kind of boring.
What does rankle the folks around here is the way in which you've gone about proclaiming your faith. You've been going about it by means of accusing others. Rather than say "this is what I believe, take it or leave it," you've been running around telling everyone what we're doing that's turned you off to evolution. More often than not, what you tell us we've been doing couldn't be further from the truth. (Such as "you're trying to make me choose between God and the BBC" or "you're saying life is just random chance".) When we correct you, and tell you what we've actually been saying, you ignore it, and continue to repeat your accusations.
So in summation... believe whatever you please, and don't feel you have to base it in anything resembling a fact. But if you're going to talk about what we say and believe, you need to have your facts straight.
