Why do you think there is a dichotomy here?
The vast majority of Christian denominations have no problem at all with scientific findings, including Biology, Geology, Paleontology, Physics, Genetics, and all the other sciences you have rejected in favor of the Bible you worship.

I will not pick and take from every religion available naively thinking they are all the same or the best bits from all will get me to heaven.
Is the only reason you follow your stripe of Christianity is because of the reward you want to receive at the end?

Re: Bizzar; what do you mean?

And i can be sure i will be forgiven and hopefully allowed in Gods kindgom. And i got this truth by discovering the evidence for creation and against evolution.
You say you know of a great deal of evidence in support for Creationism.
You also say that you know of a great deal of evidence that disproves evolution.
You say that all of this evidence is how you found the "Truth" (TM).
This must mean that you have studied and understand both the evidence for Creationism and for Evolution, right? You must have done a lot of reading and maybe taken an Introduction to Biology course at the local university or community college, right?
My point is, you wouldn't have rejected all of modern Biology, Genetics, Paleontology, and Geology, etc. unless you understood a great deal of the basic tenets of each field of science, am I correct?
...because an intellectually honest person wouldn't reject 200 years of scientific advancement out of ignorance, would they?
Considering that you have surely done all of your homework and research, so as to come to an intelligent, well-reasoned, informed descision, I find it very strange that you don't ever seem to make any arguments in your own words. It almost seems to me that you didn't do all of the study and research on evolution et. al. before you rejected those 200 years of scientific discovery.
