Hi,
Evolution has nothing at all to do with the existence of god, and the relationship of any person with that belief.
It has everything to do with fundamental, literal-Bible, Christianity.
The more primitive superstition one mixes into one's theism, the worse that science makes religion look. The more rational the approach to religion, the more it can coexist with the observable facts.
However, unlike the Catholic Church, I cannot see how evolution and original sin can coexist. And without original sin, I have a hard time understanding the rational for Christ's existence. Much like the "we did if for the Iraqi people" when the WMD failed to show up, the "died for our sins" is a post hoc rationalization used to explain His ministry when His prediction of the coming of the Kingdom of God during the lifespan of His contemporaries failed to materialize.
