I see no contradiction between a belief in God and a belief that evolution operates. Why should an omnipotent, omnisiceint God limit himself to mechanisms like simple one-off creation to form his universe?
What evolution did do was to make atheism rational. Until there was a possible explanation, other than as a reflection of the mind of God, for the wonder that is the human mind, then I can see how atheism was a more difficult position to hold.
