Evolution is MUCH more feasible than creation. It's based on a few already proven principles:
1) mutation happens
2) offspring carry on the genetic traits of their parents.
proving that humans arose from apes is one of the easier tasks. just look at dogs, who all came from the same ancestor. look at such difference in form. suddenly apes dont look so different from humans.
As for the age of the earth, I'm no expert. but it's much harder to believe that the earth is just a few thousands of years old.
Science never claims to have all the answers. religion does claim to have many unproven answers. I'm sorry. I don't mean to sound hostile, but this is how I feel about things. I used to be religious but eventually there were many things I could not accept.
