Right katyanne, evolution was invented so that people would have something to believe other than the Bible. By the way, it worked and is working sad to say.

Probably because it makes a whole lot of sense given All the fossil evidence !!! Much better at explaining things than goddidit...

Hmmm, lets see, what is evolution this week? Ah, it's gone back to being a deadly threat to all Christianity and the core of all moral degredation. When I checked yesterday lunchtime it was a laughable mishmash of hair-brained lunacy that was endlessly being torn apart by sound creationist reasoning.
Still, it shows that fundamentalists can change their opinions on certain matters.
Well, if the Bible showed some semblance of being true, particularly in Genesis, I might believe it!
If they wanted to believe any other thing than the Bible, there are like 60 religions in the world with an indeterminate number of sects. And by the way, evolution doesn't disprove the existence of God, or the Bible, IF NOT TAKEN LITERARILLY.
Have these people heard of Islam, Buddhism, and Taoism (which, btw, predates even the Jews).
Something to believe other than the Bible? So Muslim, Buddhism, Taoism, Druidry, and the thousands of other religions weren't already alternative enough?
Evolution was "invented" to explain how variations occur within a population over time, and it eventually expanded into providing a logical explanation for the varieties of species on our planet as well. Do not think so highly of yourself...your Bible had no bearing in the theory at all, and that's what pisses you off, isn't it?

"I believe the Bible and accept the reality of evolution. Your argument is thus disproven. I win." Then our nefarious plan is working!
First, you accept evolution. Then, since Genesis isn't literally true, those niggling doubts about Original Sin start to eat away at you. And pretty soon, you're sacrificing kittens on a pentagram-shaped altar and getting your Evil Atheist Conspiracy membership card laminated at the nearest bus station.
Wah ha ha ha ha ha!
No actually evolution was invented to explain scientifically how life developed on earth. It has nothing to do with the Bible, the Bahavad-Gita, the Quran, or any other of the umpteen gazillion religious beliefs out there.
Mmm, and it was a slippery slope. After Origin of Species came the Quran, the Theravada, the Vedas, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Theogany, etc.
But let us not forget: The bible came first.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
