I've never really understood this need by Biblical literalists to be, well, literal about the Bible. I think it's pretty much the same impulse that drives those on the other side of the fence to tout evolution as "proof" that there is no God.
Speaking for myself, I don't have any problem with the idea that God and evolution (in some form or other) are compatible.

I've never encountered anyone who believes that, to tell you the truth. All of my experiences with teachers and professors on this subject have been pretty God-neutral-they give an explanation of the theory and how it works and don't even discuss how this relates to God.

In my opinion, nobody could have designed such a system, but God.
