No, I don't think you are the only one who believes in God.
I am an Agnostic, personally, but there are several people here who accept the overwhelming evidence for evolution and who also believe in God.
So, tell me, do you accept the evidence for common descent with modification? If not, why not?

OK, I can do without the patronizing, arrogant tone.
What about the Hindu society? Or the Muslim society? Or the Buddhist society? Or the Jewish society?
Did you ever think that you would have been one of those religions if you had been born and raised in India, Saudi Arabia, or China?
Did you choose Christianity out of a consideration of all religions, or were you raised to believe the way you do?
Christians are a minority in the world, you know.

Not to mention all the prophecies in the bible are true,
Um, do you mean the prohecies in the Bible which are then fulfilled in the Bible? Sorry, that's not evidence.
quote:
and creationist have answers to every statement an evolutionist makes.
I have asked every creationist I have ever spoken with the following questions, and I have NEVER ONCE gotten a straight answer. Maybe you can give me a straight answer:
What is the definition of "kind"?
What is the mechanism or process or force that prevents many small changes in a population to accumulate enough to produce speciation?
If the fossils are sorted by Noah's flood, then why do flowering plants appear so late in the fossil record? Did they run for high ground?
Why do the various radiometric dating methods agree almost all of the time? Creationists make a lot out of the occasional case when the dating methods don't agree, but don't explain why they do agree the majority of the time.
quote:
Oh and then there's the fact that if you don't believe in God you have to assume our reality just exist for no reason.
That is a philosophical problem, not a scientific one. Just because you prefer to belive that God created the Universe doesn't mean that science supports your particular interpretation of the creation stories in the
Christian Bible.
