This is more of the 'henny penny' so-called conservatives who are afraid of liberals and what they think of them, afraid to confront liberals and liberalism in the theater of 'battle', afraid to stick by their professed convictions. This is no way to win in the market place of ideas by living in fear of what the liberals might think about us, or might do to us.
Pure and simple, this article is hogwash.
The leaders of the successful wing of the conservative movement over the last 25 years (Reagan, GWB, Rush Limbaugh, etc) would never take the fearful positions that you advocate.
Additionally, all of them professed publicly their belief that our Creator was exactly that...and that we are directly a result of God's creation.
All this nonsense about believing in Creation being the downfall of conservatives flies in the face of any facts, results, trends, etc. If anything, the last 5 years have proved mostly otherwise.
On a personal note, I have yet to read the testimony or expressed personal beliefs of faith from anyone who professes that evolution is compatible with being a biblical Christian. I've seen rhetoric, but no 'beef'. Mostly I have seen some pretty hateful things said about Christians, and about God.
For those who try to be legalistic about The Bible, all I can say is to read the words of Christ, our saviour:
John 3:12
"I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?"
Does the Nicene Creed suffice? I say it and believe every word of it every Sunday, and on occaisional weekdays. But maybe you don't consider Catholics to be Biblical Christians.
So how about this guy, an evangelical Protestant:

I like this article of his:

Or how about the good people at Wheaton College? They accept evolution, and are good Christians too. Scroll down to their statement of faith:
