But I still share your belief that there is no conflict between Genesis and Evolution. It's just that I think God created the very concept of "randomness" and "natural selection" at the core of Evolution. No conflict.

Thank you. I was beginning to think I was the only person that thought that way. Many people (on both sides of the argument) seem to ignore either the supporting evidence of the other side or the gaps in their own theory. I believe that God guides evolution. They actually fit together quite nicely.

This argument isn't new but here's the problem I've got with it. Sure, there seems to be a whole lot of scientific evidence that would point to evolution over a literal interpretation of Genesis. Know what? There's also a whole lot of evidence casting doubt on the concept of a virgin literally getting pregnant... And the improbability of literally turning water into wine... And of feeding a large crowd with five loaves and two fish... And of a dead man coming back to life after three days... And a man surviving inside the stomach of a whale.

If we ignore every part of the Bible that doesn't fit nicely with what the scientists tell us can happen, what do we really have left?

I don't know the answer. In some ways your argument is the only one that makes sense. But it feels... dangerous... if that makes sense.
