There are plenty of theists who have no problem reconciling their belief in God with their acceptance of the theory of evolution.

Evolution has happened, so Genesis 1-2 must be incorrect. So if I modify it a bit, they fit fine. Might as well reject Isaiah 53, 9:6, and we will omit the bothersome Flood, and that rescue from Egypt thing, too. 'fore ya know it, aint nuthin left. Sure aint scripture huh?

The problem is not with the scripture itself, but rather with your interpretation. God created the universe. Unless you believe that he deliberately set out to deceive us by planting false evidence, then there can be no contradiction between scripture and the created universe. Given the overwhelming evidence in support of the theory of evolution, the simplest explanation is that your literalist interpretation of Genesis 1-2 is faulty.
