It's not a false dichotomy. You are reading it wrong. I specifically said if the Lord exists (and he claims to be Creator) then he did not use entirely natural proceses, or by definition, He didn't create.
Then I said, if scripture can be proved inspired, that Macroevolution (at least on the scale that we talk about) is false. That's because scripture makes very specific claims.
I believe in the validity of science. I believe in the scientific method. But I don't believe that the scientists who have adopted evolution are correct. There is a portion of scientific thought (evolution) that is wrong. It wouldn't be the first time and it wouldn't be the last time.
Does not follow.
That's because scripture makes very specific claims.
So does the overwhelming evidence for evolution. And frankly, I'll take actual *creation* as being more of a final word on the matter than anyone's *interpretation* of any book.

No you don't -- if you did, you'd follow the evidence where it leads, instead of frantically looking for excuses to ignore it.
But I don't believe that the scientists who have adopted evolution are correct.
...because the evidence clashes with what you want to continue to believe...
There is a portion of scientific thought (evolution) that is wrong.
Please provide the evidence for this assertion of yours.
It wouldn't be the first time and it wouldn't be the last time.
Wouldn't be the first time *you've* been wrong either, would it?
