What does being a Christian have to do with practicing science? I said it myself, you can be an effective scientist and be a Christian, but you may not agree with what the mainstream says is correct.

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.

It's not that easy, for not all people that believe in God and the Bible believe in it the same way. That is to say not everyone interprets things the same way. I am assuming you are saying that since Adam & Eve existed before sin, it is impossible for them to have evolved since evolution cannot occur without death, right? Well not everyone believes the Adam & Eve part like that, so it is not simple for them.
And for those who do believe it literally, this would certainly stand in the way of believing in evolution from a common ancestor. However, this flies in the face of mainstream science, which is supported by evidence. The only thing that stands against it is the Bible.
