Christianity / Evolution Can They Co-Exist?

The following post by Pup brings this to mind.


Quote:

My wife's church is in that stage with evolution. They wish it weren't real, but it so obviously is, that they no longer require members to believe literal Biblical creation. My wife was so concerned a few years ago that she asked her bishop (different from a Catholic bishop), and he reassured her the church was okay with her believing in evolution and rejecting creation. Some members of her church still strongly insist creation must be believed. It's a messy transition. And I expect the definition of "miracles" will undergo a similarly messy transition in the RCC and any church that includes belief in modern ones.

I have pondered this question many times before, and have yet to hear anything remotely like a workable solution, from the faithful.

Many of the World's religions, would be able to accommodate the simultaneous acceptance of evolution as fact, and belief in their divine doctrine, (perhaps with a bit of tweaking and fine tuning), but how can Christianity?

Judaism would not have too much of a problem I think, and perhaps Islam also, but Christianity has that enormous hurdle of Original Sin, and Jesus dying on the cross to overcome it to get over.

I don't expect much input from Christian theists on this one, (it's one of those very hard questions they ignore), but was wondering if others here have any thoughts on this.
