I can't believe in evolution for there are so many problems that arise when I dig a little deeper.
What problems would those be, exactly? It may be that your problems are the result of a misunderstanding of the theory itself, but we can't tell unless you describe them for us.

God created a perfect world, where every creature lived in peace, they only ate fruits and vegetables it seems. There never were preys or predators. Then why do most of the present animals have dangerous/poisonous features/organs and attitude. Even after the fall how did they gain those. I suppose that snakes didn't have poison in them, but where does it come from.
Was it plan by God?
I'm not a Creationist, so I can't really speak to how this question in answered in the Creationist framework. Personally, I think the whole notion of a "perfect world" vs. a "fallen world" is the result of distorted idealism and projection, and that a "perfect world" as Christians commonly describe it is either pointless, impossible, or both.
The answers that I have seen offered in reponse to questions like yours generally end up appealing to God's inscrutable motives, or his "Divine Plan," as it were, which basically translates to "I don't like to think about those questions, so I'll ignore them by substituing the unknown with a resignation to my belief that it is instead unknowable."
Blessings,
