That would be a big zero.

Genesis 1 and 2 is no more an instruction on the scientific principles of evolution than it is an instruction on the scientific principles of nuclear fusion.

What do you think the mechanism of this evolution you say you believe in is?

Is it natural selection of genetic variation?

Would explaining the mechanism you say you believe in be a Darwinist argument?

Oh pul-eeze, allmendream, will you stop torturing me with nonense like this? I never said Genesis was an instruction manual on "scientific principles." My claim is that it gives us humans the very CONTEXT in which scientific principles can arise in the first place.

What do you think the mechanism of this evolution you say you believe in is?

I do not believe evolution involves any concept of "mechanism" whatsoever, at least not at the level of first principles. The creative Word of God is not a "mechanism."

Would explaining the mechanism you say you believe in be a Darwinist argument?

Obviously not — on the basis of my own statements, above.
