Scientific findings don't disprove religion. Even evolution. In christianity's history, their official stance was that the Earth was the center of the universe and now it's accepted by the church that the sun is the center of the Earth. If evolution could ever be proven I think the church would just adapt to it rather than perish.
Disclaimer: Nothing I say can be considered credible information (I wonder what that means about this disclaimer then).

But Christians follow the Bible, and if it is written that God created everything, why would they believe in evolution?
Where in Christianity's history does it talk about their look on the Earth and Sun?
I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -The Notebook

Who are we to assume the way God works or how "He" doesn't?. Why could not evolution be one way for creation?. Again, what do we know?. Only what it has been revealed to us in the scriptures, if you believe in them. Assuming anything else is what bring so much confusion, and doubts.

Then tell me, what in the world does Genesis talk about? =/
Read it first and then come back.

No where God says anything about how He created. So it is very
arrogant for interpreters of the Bible to assume how He did it or not. Now go and find a scripture that reveals what method He used.

In chapter two, verse seven, the Scripture says: "The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." (Gen. 2:7)
