I really hate to jump in on such a subject that is so far off topic, but this is something that has bugged me for years. I really don't understand what the argument is about. I'm not religious, nor am I much of an atheist (requires too much faith in the unknown).
As God works in mysterious ways, I can't see why evolution isn't one of them. A literal interpretation of the Bible holds no water as we seem to agree that the sun doesn't rise up from the ocean as it says in Genesis. Thus, it's an allegorical document, inspiring as it may be, its moral truth given by example. You might even say that He can be found in the fine- structure constant. After all, Richard Feynman himself rather hinted at such an idea. All else in the universe grows from alpha, all the atomic structure, all the chemistry and all the evolution. "My ways are not your ways," seems to put it nicely. Not much original thinking here, but maybe it should be repeated from time to time, just to calm everyone down.
