Tellihard De Chardin seems to do a good job at being a theist of your stripe and accepting the theory of evolution at the same time; somewhat earlier, Chief Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook seemed to incorporate evolution and other "heretical" ideas into his unique theological reconcilliation of modern thought and Orthodoxy. Again, as an Orthodox Jew, I'm not an "evolutionist", but I think it's somewhat dishonest to label a scientific theory as a religion.
