If you're going to have some hyper-litteral interpretation of the early parts of Genesis, then you're going to have to explain some things.
On the other hand, if you can say that these were merely parables, like the ones that Jesus told, then Evolution fits into Genesis just fine.
All I know is what the Bible says about it. I seem to recall seeing where others have ventured to explain it. Perhaps they did a good job of doing so. I trust you'll check it out if it interests you.

I don't have to explain anything. Lacking any curiosity about the "how," I haven't bothered to delve into it. I'm content to be satisfied that it's true. Thankfully, I've left behind those days of my youth when I considered myself the final arbiter in what is true or good.

The obvious difference is, Jesus (God the Son) told us when He was speaking in parables. I hope I never dismiss as parable anything in the Bible simply because I can't explain it.
