I don’t think that evolutionary theory denies the existence of G-d. We are not sure of the exact time frame of the creation of the world. Evolution actually makes a lot of sense. Life started in the sea, and the sea animals crawled out on land, and so on. Who is to say that what we read in Parshas Breishis is not exactly describing that? We believe the world was created in six days? By what time passage? The sun was not even set in the sky until day four. Who knows how mcuh time passed before that day? Even if we believe each day was a 24 hour period of time, do we really think that Hashem who created everything, could not create it in a speeded-up evolutionary way? I don’t really see the contradiction.
