"Why do Christians have a problem with evolution?"
Many reasons.
Breathtaking stupidity.
Extreme laziness. They refuse to educate themselves.
The religious implications of evolution are obvious. If evolution is true then Genesis is bullshit. If Genesis is bullshit then it's fair to say the entire bible is bullshit.
If evolution is true (evolution is the strongest fact of science) then the development of new species was a completely natural process, no god fairies required. If something this complex does not require supernatural magic then it's fair to say nothing requires a god fairy's magic wand.
In other words Darwin killed God. Good riddance.
I wrote hundreds of posts about this subject at my 7 year old blog.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
