What is the real reason for denial of evolution?

I don’t deny evolution but I do reject the Theory of Evolution.

I used to be in the Theistic Evolution camp but Richard Dawkins made me a YEC. (Way to go, Richard!)

He said in a book something like “You can’t consistently believe in evolution and be a Christian.” Since I am a Christian then logically that meant I couldn’t believe in evolution. That’s not the reason I reject the Theory of Evolution [TOE] (but not evolution); since there is no particular reason to believe Dawkins on anything; but it provided the impetus to study the claims of the TOE which eventually convinced me that the theory is wrong.

If I could be convinced that YEC is untenable then I would probably move to the Theistic Evolution/Intelligent Design viewpoint.
