I have some big plans if I get conclusive results from this query. I can't say what, but they're big. So do you know of any legit religions that teach evolution as being what formed all life on earth?

By legit, I just mean that it is officially recognized by the government. It has nothing to do with personal opinion as to the legitimacy of the religions.

Just so you know, I'm Catholic and don't believe in evolution beyond certain adaptations within a species. What I'm looking for, however, is some religion that believes full fledgedly in evolution.

I'll 2nd the Captain, with the Vatican's treatise on the subject:
"While the story of human origins is complex and subject to revision, physical anthropology and molecular biology combine to make a convincing case for the origin of the human species in Africa about 150,000 years ago in a humanoid population of common genetic lineage."

My religion believes in getting as much education as possible. We believe in evolution. But we don't believe in evolution being what formed all life. Sorry.

The only "legit" religion is the one between you and God. Religion is a personal relationship with God, not an outward display of going to church.
With this in mind, do you believe in evolution? I do.

No religion teaches science. Most main stream religions accept evolution.

I am Southern Baptist.
By the Southern Baptist Faith and Message, no Southern Baptist church thinks the theory of evolution explains man's presence on earth in any way. God is creator, sustainer, and finisher of everything.

Pope Benedict has stated that CERTAIN ASPECTS of eveolution are not incompatible with the Catholic faith, but we do not specifically "teach" evolution

It doesn't take belief to study evolution. It's a scientific theory, so the facts, reasoning and evidence are all available...not faith or belief is necessary. It does require understanding and intelligence, but then doesn't anything worth knowing.

Define a 'legit' religion. Which religions aren't 'legit'?
