You have your finger squarely on the root of the problem.

Unfortunately, it will never be resolved by reasonable means, because the fungelicals (LOVE that term) have stuck their fingers in their ears and will always refuse to listen to interfaith dialogue. I think they've convinced themselves that atheists are "the enemy" (as they so often are) therefore compromise, any compromise, will undermine their faith in the end.

Evolution isn't an aspect that's easy to integrate into Christian faith: it requires a LOT of thought. If they admit the evolutionists might have a point, they're leaving themselves open to the classic atheist question that if God "let things happen randomly", He either doesn't have the power to interfere OR just doesn't care about His creation. If either of these charges are true, then why should we worship Him? Are we so sure He is a moral force? If He allowed a "the strongest will prosper" system to develop in His world, as demonstrated by His chosen system of evolution, then why should we think of Him as intrinsically "good"?

And so forth. It's a Hydra - cut off one head and two more appear. This is why they'll never WANT to address the issue of evolution honestly. At best it forces believers to think before they come to a private method of incorporating it into their understanding; at worst, the doubt engendered by the question may lead to people leaving.

Easier to claim "Intelligent Design", isn't it?
