They are completely obliged to, in spite of any and all evidence. They will certainly latch onto any 'evidence' that throws into question the theory of evolution, but evidence is not their guiding light, and that which comes into conflict with their ancient books must be thrown out because it threatens their position.
The point about fundamentalist religion is that they already have their result. Their job is just to make the pieces fit in as best they can. This is above all why creationism is such poor science, because they know already the result they are aiming for.
That's true of some of them, but there are others that have just never been exposed to what evolution really is: they're just victims of the fundie push to silence and distort the theory out of existence.
There isn't a single objection to evolution that actually addresses what evolution is, and there are many christians out there who have only heard the theory expressed in terms of those objections. It's hardly their fault, they're just prey for the echo chamber, mostly. Those are the ones that'll come to accept it if they're ever presented with the facts.
