Just as a point of reference that may be surprising to some used to USA religious positions: the Catholic Church fully embraces evolution.

Doubt.

But I guess that just has to do with what you were exposed to and seen as normal.

From my experience, I just find Islam to be 700 years newer, the Quran is a newer book and has some updates to human enlightenment south of the Mediterranean and out of necessity, for example it requires a round earth to get the shortest path to Mecca.
