For the bible literalist, I can see it being a problem...but what's to say that the theory of evolution goes against the bible? The bible is inherently fallable, since it is written by man. There's so much stuff in the bible that I'm sure your friend doesn't follow, so why is this such a sticking point for him? If he's quite educated, then he should be able to discern the literal word, from the metaphoric. The bible is subject to interpretation...the proof of that lay in the many different translations.
So tell your friend to loosen up and make up his own mind about life...it's the uptight literalist who too often become hypocrites or are the reason that Christians like myself get a bad rap.
