Do evolution and creationism overlap?

On my mission I realized how big of a problem evolution is for the faith of so many people. I've started reading this book called "Evolution vs. Creationism" by Eugenie C. Scott and it's very interesting. The conclusion I'm coming to is that evolution and Christian faith (including faith in the Biblical story of the creation) are not incompatible because science and religion have fundamentally different spheres of authority. Here's a quote from the book:

"The question naturally arises, ... Is creationism testable?"

"As discussed, science operates by testing explanations of natural phenomena against the natural world. Explanations that are disproved are rejected; explanations that are corroborated are provisionally accepted. An important element of testing is being able to hold constant some of the conditions of the test, so that a causative effect can be correctly assigned.

"The ultimate statement of creationism--that the present universe came about as the result of the action or actions of a divine creator--is thus outside the abilities of science to test. If there is an omnipotent force in the universe, it would by definition be impossible to hold constant (to control) its effects. A scientist could control for the effects of temperature, light, humidity, or predators--but it would be impossible to control for the actions of God!

"The question of whether God created cannot be evaluated by science. Most believers conceive of God as omnipotent, so God could have created everything just as we see it today, a theological position known as Special Creationism, or God could have created through a natural process such as evolution, a theological position known as Theistic Evolution.

"An omnipotent being could create the universe to appear as if it had evolved but actually have created everything five minutes ago. The reason that the ultimate statement of creationism cannot be tested is simple: the actions of an omnipotent creator are compatible with any and all observations of the natural world. The methods of science cannot choose among the possible actions of an omnipotent creator because by definition God is unconstrained."
