I will attempt to, in this article, compare Biblical Teachings to the Evolutionary Theory;
The Evolutionist theory claims:
A: there was no definate "beginning", As the origin of early matter in the universe is unknown.
B: The Universe Created itself randomly, and spontaniously.
C: God either set matter in motion, to spontaniously transform itself into something usefull, Or there is no God.
D: Man has no superior worth, or Purpose
E: Man evolved from an animal, and is more or less a very intelligent form of animal, Related to the Ape.
F: The Universe is evolving even today, and has been for an almost endless period of time.
All of these options hint to little or no intervention on the part of God.

The Evolutionist theory attempts to not only declare God non-existant, but to also prove man to be an animal, rather than a being with a soul. If man's ancestors were apes, then we, effectively, (Humans) are also, intelligent apes. Unless Apes, Bugs, and Fish are capable of posessing souls, We as humans must be souless animals without purpose, or worth. If this theory called "Evolution" is true, we cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, and thus, the entire Bible must be discounted as false.
It is utterly illogical to believe that Sophisticated Animals who are the product of a random gamble will somehow Follow a God that had no part in their making... And one day enter the Gates of heaven... For this reason, It is neither possible for a Christian to truely Believe Evolution as fact.
CONCLUSION:
Creationism = Christianity
Evolution = Atheism
