Let us, for the sake of argument, assume I have faith in the idea that Jesus died and was ressurected etc. Let us also assume, for the sake of argument, that I accept evolution and believe that God caused the spark that set the whole thing in motion. Where do you see the conflict?

So any conflict is between YEC-literal-Genesis and evolution. If one instead considers the bible to be god's teachings as transcribed and interpreted by humans (as many/most Christians do) then there is no inherent incompatibility.
