Interesting that you list all kinds of negative opinions of evolution, but no positive reasons for Christ based on faith.
I suspect that you do not have any reason to change belief, so you have no motivation to spend time to change your belief... a self-fulfilling prophesy. If it takes an effort to do more research, then there better be a good reason to take time away from more enjoyable and/or necessary things. Besides, why undo the feelings that led you to this belief (i.e. hope, etc.)? Frankly, I think you are comfortable in your belief and see no need to upset the apple cart. That is the real reason you are a Creationist.
Of course, this goes both ways. As an agnostic, I feel no strong enough reason to study the Bible and convert. I currently am not depressed and hopeless, searching for meaning. I am not a good candidate for conversion. I would not be reading the Bible for deeper religious meaning. I would be looking for contradictions instead of an honest pursuit of a Christian view.
So, we have this forum that allows to try to move the unmovable. We defend our views and attack the other. Too bad God doesn't log on and settle this simply. He could tell us some scientific secrets that we have not yet discovered, but could verify. He could give an explanation of why evolution appears (to many of us who look deeper into cause/effect) so slam dunk correct.
So, you stated you are Creationist because of Evolution shortcomings. Balogna!
