I would agree with you that “Biblical religion” is incompatible with Darwinian theory, but I would submit that the Bible, or specifically Genesis, considered as a text, is not only compatible with evolution, but distinctly evolutionary in its form, and even its tone.

In my mind, I see a parallel with the conflict of medieval Aristotelianism with emergent renaissance science. Galileo argued that Aristotle himself would have embraced his views, and it was only the “peripatetics” who had cast his teaching into rigid doctrine.
