He says that creation isn't a theory because it's a belief. Well, evolution is believed by people, isn't it?

Not quite -- both evolution and creationism may be believed, but only one is a theory.

The only way you can prove anything is to experience it and no one alive has.

It is not the purpose of a theory to prove something, as no theory can be proven. Theories are simply there to provide a "working explanation" of what we notice in various phenomena and how they interact. Creationism doesn't do that.

In the Bible, a thousand years happens in an instant for God.

I rather like the theistic evolutionary ideas -- that the bible explains something in simplier terms/in terms relative to god. Its always been a bit friendlier to both sides of the issue.
