No, of course not. As with all cultures and religions, people tried to show how it all began. Genesis was such an attempt. It is not science. Many Christians accept evolution based on theories presented so far. It is taught in most Christian Universities as science, and the bible is taught in theology.

If by many you mean a very small(but vocal) minority then you are correct.

You have it reversed. The Catholic Church, for example, has no problems with the Theory of Evolution. But then, they don't take the bible to true word for word. Catholics are not just a small minority. Obviously, most of the Christian Universities are Jesuit or other Catholic schools, but Southern Methodist University teaches evolution. Yale University has one of the finest Divinity schools in the nation, but it is also the home of the Peabody Museum which supports evolution. There are only a few Christian sects that take the bible to be the litteral truth.

I completely misread your post. For some reason I translated it to be "many Christians deny evolution". My mistake.
