I don't have as much problem understanding atheistic evolution, as I have understanding how you mix Scripture in with it and come out with the Scripture's being reliable.

There's as much problem how to mix one verse against another as there is mixing Evolution and Creation. There are whole texts explaining how some scholars interpret parts of the Bible. Since those descriptions disagree as well, I'd think the best way is to read it, and interpret it as well.

Keeping in mind always that you are looking at God's creation all around you, including those tonnes of fossils in the museums, and they are at least as important to study as Gods word.

Right. I agree.

So I look, myself, at the whole of Scripture (including the New Testament) and I see Adam as a human being (ref. 1 Corinthians 1: 20-22, among others), and I see that the whole reason Jesus came to earth to die, was for the redemption of those of us who are dead in sin because of this man, Adam, and our subsequent choice to sin.

Then I look at God's magnificent creation, and know that it could not be made by chance, that it had to have been designed. And I look around me, and see the fossils that exist, and wonder where all the rest are that should be there, if the earth is as old as evolutionists claim it is. And I wonder where all the people are who should be on this earth if people have been here for millions of years. I am not a scientist, but I see the belief in evolution as a tremendous leap of faith, since it doesn't make sense on the surface. Nothing I see is evolving, nor has evolved since the recorded history of man began.

I see empirical evidence all around me that refutes what evolution teaches. And I have a personal relationship with the Creator, and study His revealed word that leads me to trust HIM first, and the scientists second.
