Have you considered keeping God but upgrading your theology? I know people who work in real science, are ardent believers and have no problem with evolution. I think asking kids to deny evolution is just a step or two removed from becoming the next technology avoiding quaker-esque commune. You shouldn't have to choose between embracing the modern world and being a Christian. I'm not asking you to do it for me; it doesn't affect me one way or the other. Just seems like a more comfortable option to me.
I accept micro-evolution and evolution as change over time but not macro-evolution. I don't believe in common ancestry.
Of course you wouldn't if you were a YEC but if you accept the age of the planet and universe as determined by the best science there would be plenty of time. But of course you are free to believe anything you like so long as you're not as attached to getting it right in terms of the best evidence as much as you are in terms of the theology you've chosen.
