Mainly because they do not understand the process of evolution, or they refuse to believe it on fundamentalist grounds.
Natural Selection is what Darwin believed was the cause of evolution.

I believe you are referring to evolution, which occurs as a result of natural selection causing species to change into new species over time.
Evolution doesn't have to be compatible with Faith. Evolution is a fact. It happened. A person can believe in God while also understanding that evolution is a very real scientific process.
A belief in god or gods is a matter of faith not physical proof. Those that believe do not require it, those that require it do not believe.
A:The evidence for evolution is now indisputable. The only way not to believe in it is to choose not to know about this evidence. So, the question really becomes how a person can believe in the Old Testament. That is a matter of faith.

"I'm a Christian, and I believe in parents being able to provide children with religious instruction without interference from the state. But I also believe our schools are there to teach worldly knowledge and science. I believe in evolution, and I believe there's a difference between science and faith. That doesn't make faith any less important than science. It just means they're two different things. And I think it's a mistake to try to cloud the teaching of science with theories that frankly don't hold up to scientific inquiry." - Obama "It's not 'faith' if you are absolutely certain," Obama said, noting that he didn't believe his lack of "faith" would hurt him a national election. "Evolution is more grounded in my experience than angels." - http://blogs.physicstoday.org/politics08/2008/01/barack_obama_on_teaching_evolu.html
Evolutionary theory really has nothing to do with believing or not believing in a god or gods.It also has nothing to do with "faith" - "faith" in a religious context means to believe something with or without evidence; however, there is lots of good evidence for evolution.
A living faith requires belief in something unseen, trust in the divine plan, and taking action based on that belief. It involves surrendering to a higher power and allowing it to guide one's thoughts and actions.
