"No, it is not. Many religious people think that Evolution was the means by which God created Man"

The Bible is not compatable with evolution. It says there was no death prior to the fall, hence there could be no natural selection or evolution to produce mankind. The fall was also the reason for needing a Savior, and the fall is what Christ came to redeem us from, so evolution denies the very foundation of Christianity. Yes, there are churches that pick and choose from the Bible to come up with a theology that will be more popular that that, but that doesn't change the facts of how evolution and the Bible conflict.

To reiterate, evolution and religion are not incompatible. Evolution may be incompatible with some religious views and beliefs, however. That is not the same thing.
