Are you suggesting that if God wanted to use evolution to create man, he could not have done so?

If God had wanted to use evolution than He wouldn't have described Creation the way He has in the Bible.

He was dealing with mental midgets when the Bible was constructed. Anyone who takes the Bible literally is a mental midget.

That's quite a statement. Care to elaborate?

Please address, first, the audience for the written work and the message that is to be taken from the creation tale.

How do you conclude that? Do you really think that Moses would have understood, if he'd explained it the way Darwin did?

And besides, what is the theological reason for explaining it the way Darwin did? If he used the process that Darwin describes to create man, then wouldn't he just say "God created man?" (which is exactly what he did).

Why go into the unnecessary detail? Particularly if it might cause someone to say, "This can't be right. This is just not believable."

I just think that there is a danger in assuming that we have all the answers. The question of how God created man is just not important. All we need to know is that he did it.
