When I was a child attending Catholic schools, I remember the prevailing opinion being something along the lines of "God created the world, but evolution tells you how He did it". The Creation story? Basically a myth which was meant to illustrate just how all-powerful God was.
My college roommate considered herself a "Jeffersonian deist" -- she believed in God, but was skeptical about Jesus as anything but a really cool guy who preached loving kindness and was killed by TPTB of the time for questioning authority. Was almost totally ignorant about the Bible. She also believed God got everything started -- the "primal mover" theory.
What I'm trying to say that I would not assume that this means a slippery slope all the way over to creationism.
