The process of evolution does occur. Denying that is ridiculous, as take for example, the "super-bugs", bacteria that have become so immune to many human anti-biotics that killing them off is a hard task. Or, another simple experiment: E.coli strains with various anti-biotics. Many die as a result, however, one can clearly see the zone of inhibition (area around the bacteria where it cannot grow due to the substances).
Thus, saying the process or phenomenon of evolution not occurring is absurd. What can be debated, however, is the theory of evolution, which like all theories, attempts to explain how it occurs and is testable, etc... . That theory can be debated upon, and of course, if one calls it a lie, then one must say what is right. After all, it's unreasonable to say it's a lie and not provide some other theory or concept (scientific or not).
I think one of the issues is blending the religious beliefs with evolution. One fundamental aspect of science is to be as objective as possible. When you bring your beliefs into the mix, then this objectivity is out the door. So, if one is to try to think about evolution, it's necessary to briefly abandon the religious beliefs. I'm not trying to say that you cannot be religious and still use science, however, I want to say, that if you are to try and understand science, you should park the religious beliefs temporarily.
Another reason for this, is science has no business trying to prove or disprove religion. It's about explaining events objectively. So, when the two get mixed in trying to understand evolution, it can be very difficult to figure out.
I'm not a graduate student in evolutionary biology, however, next year I'll be doing various biology and psychology courses (mostly neuroscience, cognition, etc... but not all), so I can try to also explain certain aspects but I'm not the most knowledgable person on it.
