Very few people in these churches reject the idea of evolution, although most see God as active within the process of evolution.

Well Joe, much as I'd love to have you onside versus peteism, this statement encapsulates the whole problem. It would be really tempting just to say that, well, these religious types have simply got to involve God somewhere, and we might as well let them accommodate the scientists by their agreeing to evolution but insisting that God got the whole thing going. Unfortunately, the whole point of evolution by natural selection is that it makes God entirely redundant (this point troubled Darwin, but he was a bit too timid to come out with it). There isn't a single step in evolution ever discovered that requires the intervention of God to make it happen. The laws of nature take care of everything. Even the origin of life itself (a step that to some, even some scientists, is somehow seen as a sacred moment) was almost certainly a pretty mundane event that happened in a muddy pond somewhere. God is just a clumsy insertion, put there to satisfy the consciences of those believers who really want to respect science. They would do far better to respect, and have confidence in, their own intellects. Easy truth can be poured over you. Real truth is well worth fighting for!
