I would disagree...those who are opposed to evolution and believe in creationism take a literal interpretation of the Bible's creation myth.
I personally never saw the conflict. Ancient man didn't know what we know about biology and other sciences. Much like the pagans cultures before them, what they couldn't explain, they attributed an attribute or action of a god/dess. It made perfect sense that, in the context of a god that was all knowing and all seeing, would have used natural processes and put them in motion, knowing what the outcome would be. In mystical circles today there is an axiom of sorts that states simply: dont use magick where a mundane action will suffice.
