Not a Christian stereotype, a fundamentalist one. I refuse to stereotype as Christian those that use the Christian moniker for such restrictive viewpoints.
I completely agree that most Christians believe in evolution and the use of science to understand the existing universe, regardless of the source of the Universe.
I don't know personally anyone who believe in the literal truth of the various holy books lying around.
As someone placed in the Christian faith not by my choice, it bugs me when folks use "Christian" as a descriptor to mean "I do what I want, how I want, in the name of Christianity". Folks like that have no issue treating certain other folks badly, all in the name of some misguided (my opinion) understanding of certain phrases.
