If Genesis were the only part of Scripture that refers to God's creation, or Adam, you might have some validity.

If you accept that human beings evolved from animals, you don't accept the whole of Scripture. If you accept that God created man, uniquely and in His own image, you don't accept the whole of evolution.

As a Christian, you have to make a choice, but you can't completely accept both.

No IMHO you speak for yourself at this point. I accept both with no issues.

My faith in God is totally seperate from my understanding of evolution. I accept both as wonderful gifts, one on an intellectual level and the other in my heart.

The fact that we may have evolved from some primordial soup, only strengthens my belief that the ways of God and his design for us are not knowable. For me this is exciting, we, as humans, think we can figure out everything and lo and behold, God throws another curveball.
