I became a Creationist because I believe in God's Word. I remain a Creationist because the Bible's creation story has yet to be disproved while, on the other hand, aspects of evolution are shaky and constantly changing.
As I said, science takes faith. I choose to put my faith in God instead. 
I am in no way saying that evolution is wrong and Creation is right, because I have no way of proving either. (And there are other possibilities that I also can't prove, like Theistic Evolution) It is a losing argument - neither side is ever satisfied. I'd simply rather believe in what makes most sense to me and I'd like to see the same courtesy extended by evolutionists.

We may want to start another thread about all this, but I just wanted to share this with you. I struggled for quite a time with my faith and creation vs. evolution, and a biologist said something to me that really made sense.
"If you believe that God is all powerful, and has created everything, why can't you believe that God could create the process of evolution?"
I have managed to find some balance between the two with that statement. I am very much into primatology and physical anthropology, and I can't deny the fossil record and the comparative taxonomy, but I can't deny my faith either. It seems to have worked for me.
(As an aside, I freaking HATE IT when people make the "I didn't come from monkeys" statement. If they understood evolution they wouldn't say that.)
