I squinched my eyes really hard and bore down while not believing and gravity and I got a little lift. Only like a half inch maybe but I did it!!! Or maybe it's because that was the moment I poo myself. Who knows!

Someone who believes that evolution is micromanagement by their god(s) who are faking a natural process for their own reasons...well, OK, that's no more delusional than anything else about religion. It`s an unnecessarily complicated explanation made up without any supporting evidence, but at least it`s compatible with reality.
To flat out deny the existence of evolution at all, that`s delusional if you believe it and lying for the purposes of propaganda if you don`t.
Now I`m off to disbelieve in gravity really hard, so I can go flying.

Seriously, how the hell can anyone really believe evolution doesn't exist? It has massive effects on humanity every day (e.g. MRSA, to pick a famous example from the millions of possible examples). Humans have been using evolution as a *tool* for millenia. Selective breeding absolutely requires the existence of evolution - if evolution didn`t exist, selective breeding wouldn`t have any effect. In fact, selective breeding *is* evolution. It`s just evolution by human selection rather than evolution by natural selection.
I`d go as far as saying that anyone who genuinely believes that evolution doesn`t exist is insane. That degree of delusion and denial of reality is insanity.
