A recently published book might be a useful reference in dealing with such things: Miller, Keith (ed.). Perspectives on an Evolving Creation. It was published by Eerdmans, but I believe the usual sources like Amazon carry it.
It discusses evolution in an explicitly Christian context while maintaining scientific accuracy (e.g., holding that evolution appears to be the best scientific explanation for biological origins). In fact, I would argue that it provides a more Christian approach than the standard purportedly Christian antievolutionary claims, as the latter generally disregard the many Biblical passages that command truthfulness, quality work, and a peacemaking attitude. (As a co-author of one chapter, my view may not be entirely objective.)
Incidentally, I believe there is currently an attempt to submit legislation favoring teaching alternative views (broadly worded, but creationism and intelligent design are major alternatives in mind of the proposer) here in Alabama, next door to Georgia. Keep an eye on your legislators!
