I'm suspicious. I mean, I run in fairly conservative Christian circles, and almost everyone I know believes in evolution. I suspect that people are opposing evolution to the notion of evolution as "God's tool", and so saying that they don't believe in evolution simply because they believe that God used evolution in his creation. That's a very different thing from believing in a six-day creation or something like that.
