Because I exposed your lies? Fine
Other people have asked for an explanation - you can answer them instead.
If you can't actually explain what you think is wrong with evolution, your criticisms must be disregarded.
So miracles are subjective experiences, then... No actual bending of natural laws, just the appearance of such to the individual who prayed for it.

You have a quite low capability of understanding.
You have no discernible capability of explaining.
Hey, good thing you're not a teacher, amirite?
No need to be a constant or frequent or occasional intervention. Just once would be more than enough. It says that the evolution process can not function as it is suggested by evolutionist.
So TE people are actually against the scientific evolution process. They do see big problems in that and can only call God to help.
Would you care to explain why Ken Miller argued against Michael Behe's idea that God needed to intervene at all? Answer: Because every one of Behe's examples where supernatural intervention was supposed to be needed had a natural explanation.
Besides which, a God who couldn't set up an evolutionary process, that didn't need his constant intervention to fix its deficiencies, would be a fairly incompetent God.
Rubbish.
Useless empty talk.
If you care to see a real example (I don't have one), I will be with you. Then you probably will understand. I guess you would probably not want to do that. So far, I can argue against everyone of those "successful examples" of evolution.
This is a question for creationists, primarily young earth creationists.
What, in your opinion, is the reason that the scientific community - and the public more generally - accepts evolution as the prevailing model for biology and also deep time as the prevailing concepts for geology and cosmology?
Note that I'm not asking you to explain why you are a creationist or what you believe, or to defend your position.
What I'm interested in is what reasons you think that evolutionary biology is the generally accepted explanation for the diversity of life and that there is scientific concordance about the ages of the earth and the universe.
It is a scientific conspiracy? The influence of satan or other supernatural forces? Is it man deliberately misleading himself?
What is your explanation?
On the other hand, just 53% (18% definitely true, 35% probably true) say that evolution, man evolving from lesser beings over millions of years, is true. So I think most people believe more in creationism than evolution.
Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't 53% qualify as "most people"?
Even more people support Young Earth Creationism, 66%. 66% said Young Earth Creationism was definitely or probably true to only 53% that said Evolution was. This can be seen from Gallup's main polling on Creationism/Evolution.
Link?
This site doesn't allow me to provide hyperlinks. The source is "Evolution, Creationism, Intelligent Design" by Gallup.com though, response to the question "Next, we'd like to ask about your views on two different explanations for the origin and development of life on earth. Do you think -- [ITEMS ROTATED] -- is -- [ROTATED: definitely true, probably true, probably false, (or) definitely false]?"
The questions asked are about humans, not the earth, therefore these polls cannot be used to determine the % that agree with YEC.

A. Evolution, that is, the idea that human beings developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life
18% definitely true, 35% probably true, 16% probably false, 28% definitely false, 3% no opinion
B. Creationism, that is, the idea that God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years
39% definitely true, 27% probably true, 16% probably false, 15% definitely false, 3% no opinion
The question asked by Gallup was as follows:
The poll was only taken once by Gallup, in June 2007.

I would point out however that "Creationism" and "Young Earth Creationism" aren't necessarily the same thing. Catholics may be "creationists", but they typically embrace an ancient Earth, and evolutionary theory.
Here are two more recent ones. Not identical but similar.The question asked by Gallup was as follows:

Pew Research Center 2013 analysis, six-in-ten Americans (60%) say that
humans and other living things have evolved over time, while a third (33%) reject the idea of evolution,
Gallop poll 2014: 42% created in current form. 19% evolved with no god involved and 31% evolution with God involved
Just keeping things up to date.

Gallup in 2012 had 46% at belief in young earth creationism so that is actually down following the disastrous Ken Ham debate, but I expect it to rebound.
