The Science vs. Religion debate is a false dilemma. The debate is between world-views. Science is a mode to discover truth, not a world-view (it makes no claims of morality or oughtness - in fact, it can't make them). Scientism is a world-view centered on science that makes certain moral claims (despite the warnings of David Hume). But when someone is debating science and religion what they are usually debating is scientism and theism (though not always). And because the debate often conflates science and scientism, it is often superficial and misleading.

If you want a very good and thorough treatment of this by one of the leading philosophers read "Where the Conflict Really Lies" by Alvin Plantinga.

If you don't want to dive into a decent-sized book, take a look at these lectures by John Lennox which explore this debate to show the logic of theism (and, as a mathematician at Oxford, he uses the term "logic" deliberately):

I recommend the book Mormon Scientist. Henry J. Eyring, father of Henry B. Eyring, absolutely accepted organic evolution. He had a number of conflicts with people in the church because of it, but still maintained his faith. There are countless BYU professors that accept organic evolution as well so you are far from alone.
