I think we as Muslims need to be very careful regarding evolution. On the one hand, I don't want to go overboard and say there are no potential problems with the theory (science is always changing of course), but on the other hand I don't want to completely dismiss it. The creation of the universe and life itself is one of the most complex and miraculous of experiences and not something which should be overly simplified. Most importantly though, I don't want Muslims or Islam to go on blindly ignoring scientific discoveries to the detriment of the deen as has been done in fundamentalist Christian circles to the point where many Christians distrust science altogether. I do not want to end up like the Christians who continue to think mankind ran around fighting dinosaurs and that fossils were planted by satan. A deen that does this does it to its detriment.

Let me clarify a bit: I don't think science EVER contradicts Islam. If it appears to, then it is merely a problem with our understanding.
