Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God....What a Eutopia, what a Paradise would this region be.”

Knowledge discovered by science does not negate the Bible. The bible is known as the "book of books" for a reason. It was not written all in one sitting, it was written over the course of at least a millenia. In it there are prophets who added new guidance to the old wisdom as understood up to that point, as there were still many errors in our knowledge and ways, all this before Jesus was sent to forgive our sins and enlighten the world to the path of salvation. So it is not at all unprecedented that God reveals new knowledge to modern prophets to explain his creation. Genesis does not preclude evolution. We know that time spans in the Bible are not what we know today. Genesis tells us that God created the world and everything in it. It doesn't tell us how he did it.

Of course it doesn't. The question is does a designer better describe reality than than the known natural occurances of random mutation and natural selection.

Do random mutation and natural selection adequately describe the reality of biology. They don't and it's strange that there are those that insist that they do.
