I believe in evolution

Last week, Jeanette and I went to a parents training about culture and the leaders made a comment about evolution and about how they tell their kids that evolution cannot be true, calling into question carbon dating. Evidently, the idea of evolution is anti-Christian.
I read an article in Time the other day about a geneticist who is also an evangelical Christian saying that the evidence in favor of evolution is so overwhelming that to deny it is to commit intellectual suicide. In fact, he made the comment that to rely on the holes in evolution to be proof of it's falseness is foolish because theoretically those holes could be closed soon as well.
Am I the only one who isn't a famous geneticist who isn't bothered by the possibility that God might have used evolution to create the earth populate it with all forms of plants and animals? It doesn't destroy my faith that God may have taken longer than a literal six days to create the whole entire universe (1st, there was no sun for, what, the first three days so how can there be a day?, 2nd, even to say that it took a whole day for God to create say, the animals in the sea, would be shortchanging God's power).
Maybe Genesis 1-3 isn't meant to be read as science or history, but as a story about how God created a perfect world, populated it with beings made in His own image so that He could have a love relationship with them, but they screwed it up, but He then started to make a way to restore that love relationship. If this is the case, then maybe, how exactly He decided to do all this doesn't matter, but that He did all it.
