I personally believe Evolution makes the most sense and there is lots of evidence to uphold it. But theoretically yes they could "play nice" together! The actual question is: Can the people who support the belief systems play nice? I would sugguest two Books

1: BANG! The History of our Universe

2: Evolution

Both are very large books filled with scientific evidence and logic, they are both 200-300 pages long and I strongly sugguest reading them for the Scientific side of the arguement

For Creationism however...I think your Best bet is this book
1: The King James Catholic Bible
I have read it (I used to be Catholic) So it does talk a little bit about it.

I know this is going to sound predictable, but to me it's Hades. I just love how he is sort of the Dark brother of Zeus, WHO IS SO OVER RATED BY THE WAY! and I think my next favorite is Posiden, because I love the ocean and he deserves a lot of respect for the Under water world he created in the mythology!

No it's not odd.
Don't forget that Christianity was pretty much a large leech on other traditions and beliefs. It has been already said that there was no way in Hell "Jesus" was born in December, however it is said that "Christmas" was and Is celebrated in December to correspond with other winter traditions, Such as the burning of the Yule log. So if you exchange gifts around a fire on a snowy or warm day in December (wherever fits your climate) with your family, it doesn't necessarily mean your celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Easter Sunday is sort of difficult, I don't know for sure if it has been written that he was crucified that day, but if you celebrate giving jelly bean hunts and chocolate bunny eating contests in April, it has nothing to do with Christ. Seriously your free to do what you want, it doesn't mean it has to be associated with anything Christian. when Americans celebrate the fourth of July are they giving God a light show? I don't think so! They are celebrating their independence. The same logic could be said about Gift exchange in December! Is Exchanging gifts with family and friends around the same time as a Christian holiday mean I'm trying to associate my Atheist self with Christian holidays? HECK NO! it just means your exchanging gifts! It's not like if you have celebrations around EED for the Islamic belief that your trying to associate yourself with Islam. Have no fear, and keep up your traditions.
