However, if your definition of God is dependent upon evolution not existing, then I can see how science, logic and reason would be your mortal enemy.

Nobody believed they were not mututally exclusive concepts until evolution became an accepted part of the scientific community. Then the religious changed their mind and pure creationists became something of a fringe group.
There's nothing wrong with that, but the religious need to stay out of the scientific debate, where they have a pretty bad record over the last few thousand years. Faith should be enough.
