Most Christians do, from what I understand. It's just that religious groups tend to be over-represented on R&S. I mean ratio-wise... in real life, half the population is not atheist, and the other half is not full of fundies.

My parents both accept evolutionary biology as fact, and both are Christians.
Prominent cellular biologist Kenneth Miller of Brown University is a devout Catholic and wrote a nice book about evolution titled "Finding Darwin's God".
Mostly, the book is about evolution, very little religion.
Edit: Steve, once again you are left behind. After "intelligent design" got blasted by a conservative federal judge in PA, the liars of the creationist movement have come up with a new term: "Sudden Emergence". If you're going to be an effective liar, at least keep up with your own gang.

I'm not a Christian but most in Europe, bar the more hardcore churches such as the Watchtower and the Mormons, do believe in evolution. The phenomenon you are describing is unique to the USA in the developed world.

I believe evolution is part of creation. There isn't any doubt in my mind evolution exists. I think that's obvious but I still believe in creation. I don't see a contradiction here. I still think there is a force out there we call God that is responsible for all of creation ... including evolution.
I want to clarify something. I don't believe man evolved from nothing. I believe he was created in the image of God as the Bible states but I do believe species evolve. That's a proven scientific fact that does not in anyway disprove creation as it appears in the Bible.

well, while i'm not really a christian any more, i always did believe, but both of my parents, who are in their 80's are very devout christians and they both believe, and fight for, the theory of evolution.
it's only the small minded christians that i've found who don't believe in evolution.

Real Christians do not believe in evilution. For a Christian to believe in evolution would like them saying, "My cousin is still turning into a human from an ape." Genesis 1:1 says, "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth." If you believe in evolution, you don't beleive in God!

I think most Christians do. But the fundamentalists, the creationists, are the most visible.

Creation is a process involving evolution....

I'm pretty sure that Christians are supposed to trust entirely in God's Word. We were created as humans, not monkeys (Adam and Eve). Yes, we do have the ability to adapt to our environments. God made us that way from the beginning. He is a perfect Creator. We must thank Him for our incredible bodies. It's just amazing what God gave us. Every time I read a Biology textbook, I think, "Wow, is God great or what?"

Sure, just one thing. Evolution is one of the tools in God's Toolkit. The atheists' insistence that it's all random Chance is nothing more than a simple renaming of God to suit their fears.
