I believe at least some religious authorities already accept evolution in conjunction with theology.
Agreed. The percent of Christians who reject evolution is actually very small. I haven't seen any statistics for other religions.
According to one essay by a Greek Orthodox priest the Eastern Orthodox churches never really had much of a problem with Darwin.
The Catholic Church, though notorious for picking on Galileo centuries ago, pretty much tacitly accepted Evolution by mid 20th Century. Each Pope in my lifetime stated something to the effect that "its up to each Catholic to pick either Genesis, or Evolution. Either way its okay with me."
Its the Evangelical Protestants who are making an issue out of clinging to evolution denial.
