Absolutely. There aren't many scientists today that do not accept the theory of evolution, but yet many, many of them are religious.
The group of people 'claiming' that evolution cannot coexist with religion are religious fanatics & evolutionist devotee's. Do not mind them.
The overwhelming majority of scientists across various fields, including biology, paleontology, and genetics, accept the theory of evolution as the best explanation for the diversity of life on Earth. The theory of evolution is supported by a wide range of evidence, including the fossil record, comparative anatomy, and molecular biology. While there may be scientists who do not accept evolution, they represent a very small minority within the scientific community.
Evolutionary theory is a scientific theory, and stands separate from any religious belief, just like one does not have to have or lack any particular religious belief in order to accept gravity or general relativity.
The scientific community doesn't accept something until it has been conclusively supported by evidence and has been shown to fit the facts. The religious community saw it as a threat to their belief system (and some still do today).
Evolutionists study and accept the scientific theory of evolution, which explains how organisms change over time through natural selection and genetic variation. They believe that all living organisms share a common ancestor and that evolution is driven by processes such as mutation, gene flow, and genetic drift. Evolutionists view the fossil record, comparative anatomy, and molecular evidence as supporting evolution as the best explanation for the diversity of life on Earth.
In the relevant fields (biologists), 99.99% accept evolution. In science generally, the figure is slightly lower, around 98%. Those that disagree usually do so on religious bases, not scientific ones.
Some people believe that evolution goes against their religion and choose not to accept the scientific notion.
There are a number of these, however, as with evolutionary science, the majority believe in evolution. What is interesting is that a number of Hebrew scholars who believe in evolution acknowledge that Genesis teaches creation and 24 hour days in the Hebrew, even though they don't believe it.
Atheism is the lack of belief in deities. Evolution is the change in organisms over time. They are two different subject and many of those that accept evolution also believe in deities, so...
The Buddha held that it was not necessary to believe in gods in order to achieve enlightenment, but that his followers could believe in gods if they so wished. A great majority of Buddhists do believe in a creator god, whether the Abrahamic God, or another. It is certainly acceptable within some schools of Buddhism for their followers to believe in God, as the world's creator. ~That's correct. :-) I am a Buddhist, but I still believe in, love, and accept in my heart God. ^_^
No. Many theists, including Christians, believe that evolution occurred. Belief in some sort of god and belief in evolution are not mutually exclusive. Some even believe evolution was guided by some divine entity such as God.
Jews accept only one God, the creator of heaven and earth.
People should not " believe in " evolution but accept that evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is fact. The also need to consider the theory of evolution by natural selection, which explains much about evolution, as one of the most well supported explanatory theories in science. Then they would, if they are intellectually honest, come to accept not only the fact of evolution but the theory of evolution by natural selection. " Believe in " is a term one uses when one can provide no supporting evidence for one's concepts and this does not include evolution and the theory of evolution by natural selection.

It depends. Some churches already believe that man is subject to evolution, but others strictly believe evolution is false and are unlikely to change their thoughts or beliefs at all
Christian's don't accept evolution. They (I) believe God created the world. Genisis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ___ "Christian's don't accept evolution". Many Christians, for example many Roman Catholics and Episcopalians, do in fact accept evolution and reject the view that Christianity is simply 'the Religion of the Book' ... They leave that distinction (if one may call it such) to Islam.
Accept. " Believe in " has connotations that do not fit the rational mind well. I have heard a range of figures. Many fence sitters and theist evolution types here. Anywhere from 14% to 25% of the US population accepts evolutionary theory.
" Evolutionists? " Believe in? " Two words/phrases that are ideological in nature and have no place in a scientific discussion. Evolutionary scientists accept the overwhelming and convergent evidence for the theory of evolution by natural selection. This is the best explanation we have for the adaptive changes seen in evolution.
It means that someone is unwilling to accept anything that is different from what they identify with or believe in.
