Evolution Vs. Creation

To me evolution makes much more sense than creation. Evolution means organisms and other things slowly adapted to their surroundings over time such as ape to man. Creation states that all things were just instantaneously created by a higher being or god. I'm a firm believer of the evolution theory which according to me should no longer be a theory but a proven fact. Charles Darwin explained and wrote a book about the evolutionary theory called the Origin Of Species. In fact I think the only reason that the evolution theory isn't considered a fact is because of the firm religious believers who strongly oppose the idea of being related to simple apes.
