My own fiancee is a Christian (Methodist), completely devout and one of the only Christians I know who knows the Bible as well as I do. Yet she is an evolutionary biologist, specifically one who works in the field of genetics.
You have been misled by the Discovery Institute about what scientists who are Christian really think about evolution. I don't say "misled" lightly; the Discovery Institute goes out of their way to misrepresent what scientists say, and has produced a "list" of scientists who reject evolution that in fact contains only one. When the guy who made the following video tracked down the scientists listed by the DI, on their list, the replies he gets back shows that no one in biology doubts evolution, and the CI was lying by placing them on the list.
I see you're still bragging about yourself, and as far as that list I did not mention any on it, I said plainly these were people I knew.

How is "I am a former evolutionary biologist and my fiancee, who is a devout Christian, still is one" bragging about myself?
You're going to sit here and try to tell me that you know working, publishing biologists who are Creationists?
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
