Why are Christians against evolution?

[Eilonnwy]

I don't have time to read through all the posts, but I'd like to point out, in case it hasn't been already, but not all Christians deny evolution. As a recovering Catholic, I can say I was honestly surprised when I found out there was an actual controversy over Creationism vs Evolution. Catholics are taught that evolution is true and that the story of Adam and Eve is metaphorical. Obviously we know the problems with that when we get into Jesus, but that's not the point. I know this is my mother's stance as a practicing Catholic.
