Mimio, I totally understand. I used to think the exact same thing. It was really a big problem for me. So what I did, knowing that I already believed in evolution, I tryed to just look at the evidence. I began to see that I had alot of ideas about science that just were not true. Stuff I had been taught in school and on PBS etc. So I just said, suppose it is true? Suppose the world wasn't billions of years old? When I set aside my assumptions it allowed me to examine the evidence in a new way. Take the forming of fossils for example. Do you know how long it takes for fossils to form? You might be supprised. I always thought the ark was a big joke, an impossibility. But do you know how big it really was? Do you know how many kinds of animals you would need on it in order to have all the animals we have today? Again, you might be supprised. When Mount St Helens erupted years ago, scientist when there and discovered the blast had created a "mini" grand canyon at the base of the mountain, not over years, but only hours. If you are honest and really want to find answers, they are not out of reach.
