Evolution is NOT a religious belief, its a scientific theory that makes no statement on religious doctrine.There are millions of religious people, Christian and otherwise who find no fault with it. One does not reject the theory of gravity just because you want to be able to fly. A theory in science isn't just a guess, but a time tested, proven concept that has been developed, attacked, destroyed, rebuilt, added to and deleted from for years. It represents the full body of our current knowledge that we have on a subject, and evolution is one of the most well studied theories in all of science.
Even ignoring all of that, I dont see why you wouldn't want to have evolution as part of their belief system. Its...beautiful. The slow, creeping march to complexity and specialization is just so simple, so beautiful that it just reeks of the divine. I think its kind of insulting to god to think that he would just come and make all life all at once, only to try and trick us into believe its older or something.
I know you have your own deeply held belief and I probably won't change your mind as in regards to evolution, but I just wanted to put it out there that evolution is not mutually exclusive with christianity or any other religion. Its a beautiful, simple way of viewing the origin of life, and if you do believe in God, its a very elegant way for him to do it.
