I believe you. Maybe I am wrong for the majority, then. But I arrived at my viewpoint because I used to be someone who disbelieved in evolution. Or rather, I believed in "microevolution" in individual species, which I later discovered in college to simply be evolution over a few hundred thousand years instead of a few hundred million. I believed this because it's what my parents taught me, and it's what I read in books (that they gave me). I haven't given up on my parents yet... I don't like to talk with them about evolution, but I do like to talk about science, and I still think if they truly understood a scientifically accurate model of the universe as we currently understand it, they would accept evolution, and the ~13 billion year age of the universe.
I am still a Christian, but I now understand and accept the scientific method as the best way to understand the physical world. I simply choose to also believe that there are unprovable and unfalsifiable things that exist beyond the physical realm.
