.......I don’t believe in evolution......

When you make that statement you clearly illustrate your total lack of comprehension. Unlike Genesis myth which must be accepted on faith alone, Science must be studied and understood. You can’t believe in evolution. You must have an understanding of the underlying science.

The problem basically boils down to ignorance. Ignorance can be solved by study of scientific works and by, most importantly, work in the lab or field.

I don't think it's a comprehension issue but one of semantics.

When 'mountainlion' states "I don't believe in evolution" it seems clear to me that what was meant was "I don't believe that evolution as a mechanism for changes in species has been solidly proven and is poor theory".

Did you think 'mountainlion' thought evolution to be a religion or faith? It seems that way from your response. Sometimes you have to read a bit more into people's words when they fail to properly express themselves.

No offense intended...I'm just observing over coffee this morning.
If I'm off base, I'll sit down and shut up.

The old *If only you really understood the ToE, then you'd believe it* canard.

And yes, it's a matter of believing that it's right.

Everything is. You believe what you're convinced of based on the evidence you see, science included.

As far as evolution goes, ignorance is mistaken for knowledge.
