Those ideas are not mutually exclusive. Even if you were a devout Christian you could still believe that God created man using evolution. It has always seemed silly to me that people get into huge fights about this.

I'm not a student of Christianity by any means, but Catholicism is the only church I know of that says evolution exists, although not in men? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I agree with you entirely. That's one of the things that bothered me about Christianity - that someone could be a perfectly good and moral person but be damned to hell because they did not believe that Jesus was the son of God. Or, even worse, they didn't believe in Jesus the correct way (being Catholic instead of Protestant or vice versa).

This is one of the problems I have too. Is the Dalai Lama not going to heaven because he's not a Christian? What about Ghandi? Anne Frank? Chief Joseph? This is one of the main reasons I've been turned off of organized Christianity. I can't understand how good people who have done good things couldn't go to "heaven".
