I don't see why the religious right can't just accept evolution as a God-driven process as they have so many other scientific findings over the centuries that the church previously disagreed with: that the world is round, that the Earth revolves around the Sun, that we aren't at the center of the Universe (if such a thing exists), etc. Science has never tried to be an enemy to our souls, yet scientists get shunned just for making discoveries and stating facts. It's not hard to compromise God and science, though I suppose there will always be those who take everything in the Bible literally, in this case, the story of creation in Genesis. But hey, who's to say Adam and Eve weren't short and hairy and had bad posture? I bet that forbidden fruit was a banana!
