Christianity, or other religions do not provide an easy way out.
If you were a creationist, imagine how unsure you would feel about existence, the blessings in your life and the lives of others, the human condition, the HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of people who don't get to eat every day, many of which are children, the countless numbers of people each day who die from easily preventable diseases, Terrorism, slavery, child labor, rape, pestulance, famine, trust me, christianity does not provide any comfort.
Now think about this, evolutionists use science as the easy way out, in plain english or whatever language, they just read something, see something, and accept it. They bring about all these seemingly unbreakable arguements about evolution, when really it doesn't provide a single solid grounds for a creationist to convert other than more faith that we shall overcome adversity as people never mind a common philosophical/religious/spiritual/metaphysical vision. Creationists come up to evolutionists with scripture and explainations for why we have DNA or the shapes of bird's beaks, we jump to our own system of failsafe ideas of how DNA came to be and why penguins can't fly.
Both sides are completely sure about what they believe as being true, until they start to really really critically think about it. There is a weakness to both creationism and evolutionism.

Nihilism is the answer, and it's not what you think...
