What you appear to be proposing is "theistic evolution," which is easily located on the continuum of beliefs on the matter. I'm going to go 'way out on a limb here, and guess that these Christian clergymen and these apparently religious organizations would find "theistic evolution" perfectly okay.

Pope John Paul II didn't appear to have a problem with it either, but I believe a lot of posters here would deny the Pope was a Christian.

Only when we meet the living God in Christ do we know what life is. We are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution. Each of us is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed, each of us is loved, each of us is necessary. Pope Benedict Inaugural Homily

Obviously this is not my proposal. I only brought it up because it is possible for Evolution to be theistic in its origin, but atheistic in its operation.

I, personally, waffle between being somewhat comfortable and somewhat uncomfortable with this position (mostly un though).
