Since evolution is science and doesn't delve into metaphysics, the broad question of "why" doesn't warrent any consideration.

If you want to ask specific whys, then perhaps those could be addressed.

I can beat ANY evolution or materialistic theory just with one question :)

WHY ?

To cut things short please take some time to ask the question WHY to your belives and post something when you are shure that you can't ask the question WHY anymore :p
You miss the point entirely, evolution is not about why, but about how.
Here in the U.S. there are people who believe in God just as elsewhere, many of them understand evolution and have no problems with it. Evolution is not about why as you seem to want to argue but about how things happen.

Just out of curiosity, we are assuming that you are actually from Bulgaria, as this is not a place that many posters come from, can you tell us a little more about how you see the question of evolution?

This is an honest question.

Hello, Dimitree

Here are my top three favorite questions to Evolutionists:
  • 1. Explain evolution in light of a 6000 year universe - (Genesis 1).
    2. Since God pronounced His Creation "very good" in Genesis 1:31 - why the need for Evolution?
    3. Since Jesus didn't believe in Evolution - (Mark 10:6; 13:19) - why should we?

Here are the top three answers to your questions.
1,2,3, We will talk to you when you have a real question.

Hello, Dimitree

Here are my top three favorite questions to Evolutionists:
[1. Explain evolution in light of a 6000 year universe - (Genesis 1).
2. Since God pronounced His Creation "very good" in Genesis 1:31 - why the need for Evolution?
3. Since Jesus didn't believe in Evolution - (Mark 10:6; 13:9) - why should we?

1. The Universe isn't 6,000 years old. (reality)
2. There is no need for evolution, only the evidence that it has happened. (reality)
3. Because Jesus hasn't read Origin of the Species yet. (published in 1856)

That was easy. Any more questions?

Unlike your other two questions, this one is actually half-way interesting. Would you say that the world as it is now is "very good?"

Why what? "Why" is a very braod question.

Make ANY statement about evolution
And then ask the question why
then ask why to the answer and to the answers answer

You will reach to one point no matter what was your first statement :)

That's called faith - (Hebrews 11:1).
3. Because Jesus hasn't read Origin of the Species yet. (published in 1856)
He knew its author long before its author authored it.

I wouldn't consider myself a believer in evolution any more than I consider myself a believer in gravity. I accept evolution as the best current theory for the explanation of the biodiversity of life on Earth. As for you question, it makes no sense. It's like asking why about gravity, germ theory, or atom theory.

Since the rest of your response was comments or baseless assertions I'll just focus on this question.

YECs say the Universe is 6,000 years old. I know you assert the Universe has the appearance of age, but that is an untennable argument in so many ways that I won't address it.

Here are my top three favorite questions to Evolutionists:
  • 1. Explain evolution in light of a 6000 year universe - (Genesis 1).
  • Evolution of light? Explain how light from stars billions of years away got here in a 6,000 year old universe.
    2. Since God pronounced His Creation "very good" in Genesis 1:31 - why the need for Evolution?
    Since He pronounced it Good, why did He end up repenting that He made it in Genesis 6:6 and decide to wipe it out with a big flood? Was He mistaken about it being good?
    3. Since Jesus didn't believe in Evolution - (Mark 10:6; 13:9) - why should we?
    Mark 13:9???
  • In 10:6 Jesus only says God made them male and female, He doesn't say how God made them.
