I ran across this book recently and read it. A good start for understanding how evolution and faith can go hand-in-hand without punching a hole in either one:

Fallenman,
God loves you so much. And I don't have any doubt that your father is in His hands, experiencing a level of life that we can't even imagine. My friend who died is named Paul. He was killed in a car wreck at the age of 26; and I found out he had died later that evening. After choir practice, prayer requests were issued, and Paul's name was mentioned. My best friend of ten years had been killed at 10:30 that morning after delivering food to a poor lady who worked at the Student Center at my college. The woman who made the prayer request turned to me and said, "You knew Paul, didn't you, Amy?" Yes, I knew Paul. He was my friend for ten years. I went out into the hallway and collapsed. Ministers ran after me and prayed with me. People from the church never left my side for several days and well into the night. Whenever I needed a shoulder, one was there. As I closed my eyes, I saw Paul, but the shoulder I felt was an extension of God's gracce. Yes, Fallenman, God knows what you're going through. You're so close. You don't have to commit intellectual suicide to approach Him. Embrace Him with all you are, and you'll experience peace you've never known before.

Fallenman,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. You seem like a very nice man, an honest man, and I hope you find the peace you're seeking. If I could give you a hug, I would. I lost my best friend in a car wreck a few years ago, and I wrestled with the same thing.

On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
