However, evolution is not really a theory of origin, so I guess in that regard, the two don't conflict, but there is still the business of randomness and purpose.

This is actually a very incorrect statement. You would have to ignore that the majority of significant scientific discoveries between the 1400's and the 1900's were made by Christian scientists to believe it.
On another point. It is not complicated at all if you are a believer in God and the Bible. For one simple reason:
Death came after sin. In order for literal evolution to occur, and I'm not talking about minor changes where some fish lose their eyes after some generations in a cave, you would have to assume that death came before. Which is a contradiction to Biblical belief.
