evolution has been proven - the existence of a god hasn't

Well, Stephanie, there is a Santa Claus.
Actually, proving evolution doesn't disprove God. It doesn't diprove the Bible. It disproves the theories of a percentage of Christians that the Bible, specifically Genesis, is to be taken literally.
Science cannot disprove God, nor is it intended to do so. Science only shows "how things happen", not "why things happen". The former is the realm of science, the latter the realm of philosophy and religion.
Belief in God doesn't preclude belief in science, nor does belief in science preclude a belief in God.
Einstein believed in God, and many other scientists have and do. Does that impugn their work?
As a religious individual, I find it rather intriguing that so many people think religion precludes science. I find it narrow that one need physical evidence to believe anything. The numinous is dismissed as an artifact of chemical processes. Psychic premonitions blamed on chance. Spontaneous healings blamed on an undefined "placebo effect" that at times seems more powerful than any medicine.
People who wish not to believe don't recognize that they are placing their hopes just as much on a wish as those who do believe.By placing your faith on observable fact, you are taking on faith the idea that there is no God, simply because proof sufficient to pass your definition has not been shown. Strange, it is, that you try to debunk any proof that might come your way.
Saying the words "placebo effect" still doesn't define the means by which some miraculous healing took place. What resources must the body have mustered to cure an ill that medicine could not? From where did these resources come from?
Certainly, if I die, and there is no afterlife, I'll not be disappointed. I'll not be disappointed when I die simply because I know that I'm living a life that is making a difference in the lives of others. I'm doing what I believe (for the most part) to be right and dignified. I'm a woman of faith, and I honor my higher power(s). If you can find fault with my life, do so. If you think that having faith is a waste of time, kindly show me how learning to be a better person is a waste of one's time.
Science doesn't provide a moral plan for living. Pure and unadulturated science says "the strong survive". It banishes the weak in favor of the betterment of the group. It is ruthless efficiency, with no regard for the individual. People are collections of atoms and molecules, pre-programmed to survive. A few pounds of Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Calcium, etc. that happen to have formed feet and legs.
Science attributes no intrinsic value to life. Religion does. With science, morality is an afterthought.

Good question... lousy approach. I think the idea of getting a religious person to stick their foot in their mouth works a lot better when the question isn't inflammatory.
As little as you care, you will probably be reported for this due to your last sentence- which leaves the display of religious people eating toejam hidden from the rest of us.
In other words, fight nicely.
To answer your question, you can't kill tradition. Even if there was undeniable proof that god was fake, there would still be followers. Not to mention, evolution doesn't knock down religion... just creationism (although this is a big part of some religions, and throws a pretty big wrench into a lot of it. When you're willing to lie about one thing, you're willing to lie about others- leaving the whole thing in question).

I would still believe in Him. For many reasons, here are a few. Evolution has been proven wrong over and over again. The miracles that have happened in my life and my friends lives(one of my friends was born half stillborn and the doctors said that he wouldn't live but his parents prayed and prayed for a miracle and that is what they got, and he is still alive today. Also his little brother was born blind and had many other problems with that. We pray for him and most of his problems have stopped and he is gaining eyesight although again the doctrs said it was impossible. Thier neighbors have a baby and she was born deaf but our church prayed for her and AGAIN the doctors had said it was impossible but she is able to hear perfectly. I broke my back last year and the doctor said that she never saw a case like mine I didn't have the simptons that any other person had all I had had was a broken back and I fell a lot higher than most of her other patients.) Another reason is because there is a country in Africa where a missionary went and told a tribe about God and they had so strong of a faith in God that people LITERALLY were raised from the dead. Another is why would there be a B.C.(Before Christ) and an A.D.(Anno Domini which means birth of Christ) If you decide to not believe in God after what I just told you than I pray that at sometime you will get saved but if you never get saved, I cry for you because your spirit will go for eternity and burn in the depths of Hell.

Even if God wasn't real, I'd still believe in him. My faith in him has brought me through some tough times. To be honest if i didn't believe someone was there helping me i don't know if i would have gotten through it. If God is real then i am in the right. If he isn't then i had a GREAT time believing that he is. Something that believers experience that others don't is a joy in unity and fellowship. A chance to be satisfied without paying over priced prices. God is more than science and beliefs. He is a well being and companion to those who need someone or who want to fill that void in their hearts. I know this becuase i was once athiest and i didn't like him either. Until i was confronted and brought the joy of him he brought closer to me, and gave me peace in my heart.

Truth is a point of view (no relation). What you hold as truth is a collection of your lives experiences. As your experiences increase, your truth or reality changes. What is "true" in science also changes. Or at least it should. Science once told us that the earth was flat, that the atom was the smallest thing, and that breakfast cereals are good for you. Beliefs are things held as truths with no tangible proof. This can be very dangerous. People kill and die for these unprovables. Beliefs are the locks to a closed mind. God and science need not be mutually exclusive. God can be experienced by anyone who wishes to open their minds to all possibilities, and to those who can handle their reality changing.

I would still believe...
Now what would you do if you found out that there is God and that all he wanted you to do was dispel your doubt, and allow him to love you that you may love others? What if he only wanted you to read the Bible as an instruction manual on how to and not to live in order to make the world a peaceful place? What if all he wanted you to do was forsake your way for his if your way is not giving anything to the world or helping be apart of the solution and more or less the problem?
What if all he wanted you to do is know that if he is powerful enough to create this world and all of it's complexities, and capabilities to change and evolve, that he is also powerful enough to manifest himself in the flesh dwell among us and give us an image to his being that we may follow and model ourselves by? Then lay down his life that all you need to do is believe and have everlasting life. What would you do?

You have nothing to lose by believing in Jesus so why not just do it ? All you have to do is ask him to come into your heart and confess him as Lord to 1 or 2 people. Remember "No one can see the Kingdom of God unless he is born again." John 3:3

Generally, when elements of Christianity (which I assume you are referring to) are replaced by science, the Church just incorporates the science into religion. Otherwise, Christianity would be long gone. As for what I would do if God was proven wrong, I am already an atheist so it wouldn't affect me much.

If evolution is proved wrong (because it can not be proved right). Would you start to believe? I pray that the Holy Spirit would fill you and bring some peace and love into your heart. Do you know that Jesus loves you? Although you do not believe? Yet?
