Hi FightingIrish:
In the bottom right corner of posts is a button "Peek". Find someone's post with the fancy quote boxes and such and "peek" at it, or use the "dBCodes On (help)" button on the left of a new post screen. This will quickly let you utilise and learn the various features of the forum to full advantage.
Welcome to EVC, may you learn as much as I have.

My entire family is practicing Catholic....& I can't think of one relative that doesn't accept evolution
My family is Christian, but they almost universally accept science and evolution. My mother compartmentalizes, managing somehow to accept both evolution and her beliefs without really pursuing the areas where they disagree. Most of the rest of them are pretty much deists without realising it. They would claim to be Christian, but its more of a cultural identity. In my experience, their actual, reasoned opinions on matters of origin are indistinguishable from deism.
That sounds very similar to what you described, and it makes me wonder how common it is.
