The fact that virtually all scientists believe in evolution isn't a reason?

Most Christians do exactly this. That doesn't mean I'm suggesting you change your faith based on what other Christians think, but you should realize that it is not only possible, but that it is also usual.

Only if majority opinion determines truth, but I think you would agree that historically that hasn't always been the case. There are some fascinating books and articles that challenge the assumption that evolution is capable of explaining the variety of life we find on this plant.
