You should watch all of the episodes wufwugy linked to, that guy addresses this very issue quite thoroughly.
Well, DonExodus doesn't think that they are mutually exclusive either... he agrees that God and evolution can coexist. Did you mean to support Char's point?

donexodus is a great biological mind and a great scientific mind, but for some reasons, like many scientists, he doesnt apply logic and the scientific method completely to theology.
he is absolutely right that a god can exist, but as to knowing even the slightest bit about this god he is wrong. he does claim that it is a personal belief and he doesnt try to convince anybody, but the fact remains that the statistical likelyhood of his god existing is the same as anything else, and that, according to logic, is a worthless position from which to believe something, and it is as good as wrong.
somehow, 100% of christians who accept contradictions to their faith disregard this. faith itself is a contradiction to knowledge, but that doesnt keep people from imposing faith based beliefs onto information based things.
donexodus' intellectual dishonesty that allows him to not see how evolution crushes christianity is his entirely arbitrary and unreasoned idea that some biblical accounts are not literal. he doesnt provide evidence for why, his entire defense is undefined and unscientific, and thats exactly what antagonists of truths do.
he, like most people, make the mistake of thinking that there exists some things that the scientific method does not apply to. he, like most, believe that supernatural exists, when by definition it does not.
