Why people accept evolution and reject Christianity

The world is a wonderful and wondrous place and man has always wondered how it came to be.  Early man accepted the belief that a god created all that exists or at least controlled life.  Some people believed in many gods and some believed in only one God.  
  The conflict between man and God has always been that man wanted to be the captain of his soul and the master of his fate but God said man was created for God's pleasure.  For thousands of years the question was not whether God existed but whose God is the real God.  But for the last 100 years man has begun to question and finally to deny the existence of God and has come to accept the theory of evolution and the Big Bang theory as facts.  I can fully understand and appreciate that.
   It makes perfect since that one put their faith into science and to believe that everything that exists was created in an instance when two forces that couldn't exist if there were nothing collided.  People think that God is a fantasy because He is quiet and they can't see, feel, or touch Him.  The truth is few people even know that I exist and some that do question things that have happened to me even though I know them to be true.
  As I understand the theory of evolution as a result of nothing colliding with itself and creating something (everything that exists I have been told) and creating a previously non existent world in which there was water, rocks, and little creatures composed of a single cell that could divide itself into two parts and make a friend.  I don't know what the single cell creatures ate but apparently that was created also at the time of the big explosion (which everyone know that explosions nearly always destroy stuff). The for some unknown reason one of these single cell animals didn't divide but got stuck together as a two celled animal and decided it liked that.  The two celled creature could survive better because it was bigger and could therefore control more of the food source, what ever that was.  Maybe it could have been each other, no one ever said that I am aware of.
  I suppose some of the other single cell creatures liked what they saw in the twin celled creature and decided to duplicate that maneuver.  I'm not sure how they thought since a brain would have required it's own cell which can't exist in a single cell creature  but I'm supposed to accept that because God doesn't communicate with us ( I think He might be more inclined to if we believed he existed).
  Anyway as more and more single celled creatures became twin celled creatures (why some didn't has never been explained to me) some of the twins decided that if two is better than one perhaps more than two is better than just two.  If they could just become three or more celled creatures maybe they could have a real brain  so that's what they did.  Some of the other creatures liked what they saw and some other thought that multiple cells were a good idea but they wanted a different configuration so all these little creatures started becoming what they thought was a superior life form. One day one of the creatures got tired of all the hassle in the water and decided to crawl out of the water and see what was on the dry land and so it did.
   One of the other creatures saw what the first one did and decided to see what it was up two so it crawled out of the water also.  The first one didn't liked the second one joining it on land so chased it up a tree (where trees came from we are never told.  maybe the algae the single celled creatures were eating got tired of being lunch so they changed into something else although even trees don't have brains and so are not capable of making decisions.  But of course many the big bang created all vegetation but only single celled creatures so there would be a food source available or the multiple-celled creatures that would eventually crawl out of the water and need a food source.  But then that would require planning for the future and I don't know how two non existent forces could have ever thought of that.  If they could have then they would have been gods.)  Once up a tree the creatures needed a way to navigate from place to place so some thought long tails would be a good idea while other thought wings would work better.
  Eventually one of the tree creatures with the long tail got tired of swinging in the trees and decided
to come down.  It had realized that a brain was better than a tail so it grew it's brain larger and walked upright so it could use it's hands for something useful.  One day it realized it didn't need it's tail anymore so that disappeared.  What I don't understand is why this big brained creature that no walked upright thought it a good idea to get rid of it's protective hair, fur, or features, whatever it had and become naked and vulnerable to changes it the weather and the harsh effects of the sun and then have to find another way to clothed itself by killing other creatures and making something out of plants.
  It seems for the first time this creature which finally got a brain capable of making decisions (so it believes but teaches us that single celled creatures did) and  thought itself to be superior because it walked upright and had opposable thumbs made a bad  decision.
    One would think after millions of years to develop from a single celled creature into a walking talking creature with opposable thumbs that in the millions of years since then that this creature would know better than to put stuff into itself that would after the way this brain worked, especially such a substance as would take control of that brain.  It seems this creature evolved to the point that it could not longer improve upon itself and decided to self destruct.
  If this creature has evolved to it's highest form then it will eventually wipe itself out by destroying itself with the desire to have more and with it's own discoveries and inventions.  .
  This creature has only one hope of continuing to exist and the hope is God, the everlasting Father, the Creator of all.  The way to this father is through Jesus Christ who died on the cross of Calvary to provide a way for this creature to escape the trap it made for itself.
