From TalkOrigins FAQ: Evolution and Metaphysics

Conclusions of this FAQ
Evolutionary theory is a scientific theory dealing with scientific data (Berry 1988:139), not a system of metaphysical beliefs or a religion. It does, however, set the sorts of general problems biology deals with, and also acts as a philosophical attitude in dealing with complex change.
Now obviously the FAQ is a bit longer than the quoted conclusion and too long to quote here me thinks.
