Depends on the particular religious beliefs. Evolution certainly contradicts the literal words of Genesis, and since evolution is a proven fact, Genesis is wrong. But those who care to take Genesis in a symbolic or metaphoric sense need not be bothered by this, and aren't.

This is an subject have given thought to, and listened to many so many scientific, non scientific work and monkey observations, and etc. I know there is clear evidence of evolution in animal, but among humans I'm not sure. Yes, there is a conflict. In the Bible it says that God gave Adam dominion over the animals, he wouldn't have been capable (monkey) The God punished Adam and Eve because they saw that they were naked, but if they were covered in fur/hair that doesn't sound like naked; Another thought is if God gave Eve an extra rib bone, do female monkey have an extra rib bone., too?

Their is nothing contained within the theories of evolution and the various theistic religions that precludes the other from existing. The ideas of both are compatible with each other and they are not mutually exclusive. God might not be real, but we do have evidence of evolution. At the same time, if God is real then NOTHING prevents him from creating evolution.

As the biologist Stephen J Gould put it, "Either the theory of evolution is compatible with religious belief, or else half of my colleagues are enormously stupid."
Gould was himself an atheist, but, since he didn't feel like adopting the second hypothesis, he adopted the first. It is an opinion which would be shared by the head of the Human Genome Project, who is a theist, and by a former Archbishop of York, who, having gone back to his day job, and is now the British Government's scientific adviser on genetics.
Of course we have all heard of one very vocal biologist, who is also an atheist (and don't we know it), by the name of Richard Dawkins.

Religion doesn't contradict evolution at all, (except for that cult that some bearded guy started 2 millenia ago).
Evolution works, it is a good explanation, only the Christians have a problem with it.

Evolution is independent of God. The theory does not address the divine.
Religious doctrines which are incompatible with reality contradict evolution.

Belief in a god requires faith. Belief in evolution requires evidence. There is evidence for evolution and anyone who says otherwise is either lying, ignorant, or delusional. If you understand how DNA works, evolution is not only possible, it is inevitable. Only the fundaMENTAList nut cases deny evolution because they lack the intellectual capacity to comprehend it. Do evolution and religion contradict? Only if you are a fundamentalist nut case.
