Do you know anyone who has switched from Evolution beliefs to Creationism?

I know quite a few including myself. I would guess that the vast majority of creationists were once evolutionists because that is what they are taught in school. Anyone who becomes a creationist does so by actually questioning the evidence instead of simply accepting what they have been taught. While there are different stories, I think it is very typical for someone to be exposed to Christianity as a starting point in questioning evolutionary beliefs. In my case, and I think this is very typical, I began to read the Bible after a conversion experience to Christianity. Since evolutionary theory and the Bible were in clear conflict, I began to question which one was right and started looking at the actual empirical evidence for evolution. I found it completely lacking and soon came to realize that science was squarely on the side of creation theory and that evolutionism was actually the religion.
