This is a common philosophical and theological question that many wiser women and men than I have answered. So I'll point you to Dr. William Lane Craig's response to a similar question on his blog, Reasonable Faith, and in the video above. Craig is another Christian intellectual heavyweight, author of several books, and university professor with an incredible educational pedigree. Searching for almost any theological question + William Lane Craig to find his much superior answer to mine would almost certainly better serve you. But the Tl;dr of Craig's answer to this question is that there isn't any explicit reason why modern science and evolutionary theory are incompatible with Christianity. A related position that God set evolution in motion is called Theistic Evolution. I'm no expert in it, but I subscribe to it.
