“Bush said evolution was not in conflict with faith.

Yes — that’s the headline. But read the full quote:

“Asked about creation and evolution, Bush said: “I think you can have both. I think evolution can — you’re getting me way out of my lane here. I’m just a simple president. But it’s, I think that God created the earth, created the world; I think the creation of the world is so mysterious it requires something as large as an almighty and I don’t think it’s incompatible with the scientific proof that there is evolution.”

He added, “I happen to believe that evolution doesn’t fully explain the mystery of life.””

Sounds to me that, personally, he’s still fairly creationist - -but he doesn’t push it on others. I’m OK with that.
