I have previously discussed how biological evolution can occur within a theistic framework, in my post Theistically Filtered Evolution and Theistically Driven Evolution.
I now recommend that you read a very useful discussion about the adequacy of natural selection (Darwinism) as the sole means of evolution (after mutations, drift, and other natural processes). This is from The OFloinn, who often takes a refreshing view of old issues. (See, for example, his detailed history of the astronomies of Ptolemy and Galileo: "The Great Ptolemaic Smackdown")
Please find some essays which give a unique Illuminated Understanding of the relation between science as a method of open ended free enquiry, scientism as a dogmatic ideology, and reductionist exoteric religion which is the only kind of religion that now exists.
