Evolution is not, nor will it ever be, compatible with Scripture. You can have one or the other but not both.

This is a false choice. But if it was the only choice, I'd go with the facts rather than a literal belief in the Genesis story of Creation. I have a hard time seeing how any self-respecting, educated person would not do the same. If the choice is believing in no God or believing some fairy tale b.s. about talking snakes, I'll take reality. Fortunately, the story of science is constantly revealing evidence that is completely compatible with the belief in a Creator God with all the attributes of the Judao-Christian God. And the Church, at least since Augustine if not before then, has never endorsed a literal or scientific reading of Genesis.
