The battle isn't between evolution and creation, IMO. It's between strict materialism, which denies a spiritual realm, and idealism which permits its existence.
I'm fine with the idea that evolution brought into existence conscious things. I'm not fine with the idea that we're just lumps of meat.

Evolution came from Greek philosophers such as Anaximater of Miletus; he first proposed that all life started in the hydrosphere and gradually moved to live in the atmosphere. Daoism also has the notion of “constant transformation” of living beings. Merely acknowledging the spiritual realm does not mean believing in the truth about it.
