Evolution or Creationism

To start off, I am an atheist so, you know where this posting is going to go in terms of choice. Duh? I believe with all my heart that evolution contains within it more of the truth than creationism contains. Creationism uses 'god' as some kind of crutch to support the theories presented from that perspective. Bottom line, creationism is not probable. Evolution, some say, is impossible (and yet, it's quite probable and quite possible). One cannot disprove the other easily so, given the choice of which one I would choose. I would have to say that I personally believe in evolution. While we cannot disprove one over the other, I believe that we should find a better explantion that's based upon this thing called reality and not in some fictional story with 'god' playing the lead role. Not using 'god' in place of, 'I don't know'. Be honest with yourself and others. Using a 'god'(which is possible but not probable) to explain the unknown and/or mistakes seems rather lame, to me. Own up to your own actions. 'God' has nothing to do with reality beyond being simply another story to tell within it. Atheists believe in reality and the established, documented truth of the world we live in. Creationism suggests that 'god' stepped in and awswered all the questions, absolutely (not!!!). Provide evidnece to back creationism. So far, I've seen not one shred of anything that absolutley disproves either or. I just feel comfortable knowing that I can believe and live life as I see fit for myself, Darwin's Theory (yes, it's a theory based upon generations of documented facts) of Evolution rules in 'The House of Thorla'.
