I am an atheist myself, but I would like to know what religious people think about evolution and other emerging sciences. I don't see how it can be said that evolution by natural selection isn't real.

All the evidence is there. Looking at fossils you can see vestigial structures, parts that no longer work but worked in an ancestor. For instance, whales having hind legs, humans having tailbones, etc. Look at the embryo of a chicken and the embryo of a human in early stages. They look almost identical. Our cells and the cells of a bacterium have many similar functions. A strand of RNA in bacteria which codes for a specific protein will code for that same protein in a fish or a cat or you.
