Seriously, I think people think evolution means we are descended from monkeys, which is not at all what it says. Evolution says that man and monkeys (all species) in their present form were not around millions of years ago. Rather, millions of years ago, a combination of environment, adaptive skills, etc., "forced" a chage in the development of the same type of being. One evolved into moneys, which then evolved into many different types and one evolved into persent day man.
In the end, it will always be a theory - at least until someone invents a time machine
But, clearly, that is what went on as the overwhelming majority of the empirical evidence strongly suggests it.
And - if you are a Christian, that evolution could have been Divinely determined. So, I think the two are consistent from that vantage point.
