So I am curious if there is anyone who believes in evolution rather than creationism and still practises religion. If so, how can you and why would you even practise religion at all?

Imperialscum, I consider evolution barely plausible without a God. It's chances of producing an intelligent being, and the chances of the process actually starting at all are so incredibly low that it could almost be deemed impossible. I also do not understand your idea that religion is incompatible with evolution, unless you refer solely to atheistic evolution. In fact, I find it quite humourous that you assume that they do not work together. Could you elaborate on why you think it doesn't jive with Christianity, or religion in general?

The chances of initial (primitive) life being started on Earth are indeed very low. But to say that it was started by a divine intervention it makes the entire thing infinitely less possible.

And the idea that God merely created the process of evolution completely contradicts to with what it is written in the bible. To my humble knowledge there is no mention or description of anything even close to evolution in the bible. Btw by evolution I refer to Darwin's theory of natural selection.

A further argument of complete incompatibility of evolution and religion is that the biblical principles, to which people should abide to, go against the laws of the evolution.
