Evolution absolutely does NOT go against faith, though I'm sure those that you refer to believe it does. Why people can't reconcile their faith with evolution is a mystery to me. The two can work together, it's not a stretch.
That said, given the dire situation in Georgia right now, I don't see a damn thing wrong with praying for rain. I found it interesting that a Georgia atheist group had to come out and make a statement condemning the action as a collossal waste of time. Hello kettle, this is the pot!
