"God's involvement in key moments" is experimentally indistinguishable from plain, old evolution. So I say it's close enough for corporate work. If they don't subscribe to Occam's razor, well, that's their problem as long as they remember to shave in the lab and the classroom.

Creationism spreading to the Catholic community is certainly something to watch for, but I think it's fairly easy to repel it by showing them some of the more - ah - interesting sides of Hovind and Chick. These guys really, really don't like Catholics - and they don't mind telling everybody who cares to listen (and quite a few who don't).
