Ample, you must be using a different definition of the term "theist" than I am. As I understand it, simply believing in God doesn't necessarily disqualify anyone from believing in evolution. I know lots of Christians (my wife, for one) who believe in the theory but believe that God steered the process or was involved somehow. There's no immediate conflict in that interpretation.
It's the folks who believe that the world is only 6,000 or so years old that tend to have the biggest problem with the theory.
