I found out by reading the Star Telegram on Sunday that yesterday was "Evolution Sunday," celebrating the 197th birthday of Charles Darwin. Apparently about 450 churches from various denominations were involved. "Programs and sermons intended to emphasize that his theory of evolution is compatible with faith and that Christians have no need to choose between religion and science." You should not in the article how many times Christians who simply believe the Genesis account are called "fundamentalists"--the new "tag" that people from Jimmy Carter to Michael Zimmerman [quoted in this article] like to place on conservative Christians.
I've always believed it takes more faith to believe evolution than Genesis 1:1: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." The Genesis account certainly does not answer all of our questions about creation. But it does answer the most important one: Who? The answer is God!
