well, for one thing, I think you mean induction not deduction, since deduction is the one that is strictly logical and mathematical, where induciton is the one where you deal with probablities and observations

also, I don't get the whole problem religious people have with evolution, I mean, it doesn't even step on any reasonable religious interpretation of the divine origin of reality as far as I see. I mean, the whole point of thinking that there's a divine source of the universe is that you go back farther and farther and discover that there had to be something before creation. Evolution just means you have to go back a lot farther to get to the point where creation started. I mean, it should be obvious to anyone that god didn't actually create you or your cat or your dog, they were all born out of their parents, in a process of immanent, non divine reproduction. The immanent characteristics you possess can be seen to be the product of genes and other such worldly material characteristics, so why would you think there's some divine intervention going on there? Seriously, god could have created the world, but it doesn't change the fact that there's an immanent, non divine process going on in the world that he created.
