Read BOTH versions of creation in Geneis carefully, sans agenda.

"I see no conflict between some form of the evolutionary theory and Christ --- indeed, evolution theory now shows that there was at least one "DNA Adam" and a "DNA Eve" --- common ancestors to all mankind --- which I presume is the chief point of your objection. "

Genesis does not say there were only two fully grown adult human beings formed/created. Thus DNA actually gives credence to what is actually said in Genesis.

"Jesus was fully man, too. And that means all the human physical frailties and problems."

I read no "physical frailties or problems" he withstood the temptation of the devil after a 40 day fast. Look what the devil offered Christ, if only Christ in the flesh would follow him.

I don't disagree. The point is that Christ (or maybe Paul, can't recall) does say that sin entered into the world by our shared ancestor and that the sacrifice of one man, in turn, balanced the debt. This is a common YEC objection to evolution, apparently not yours.

"I read no "physical frailties or problems" he withstood the temptation of the devil after a 40 day fast. Look what the devil offered Christ, if only Christ in the flesh would follow him."

I didn't say He wasn't tough. But He was a man (as well). He ate and drank. He thirst. He hurt. He bled. He died. The distinction is spiritual, not so much physical.
