Opinion (and that's all any interpretation of Scripture is) -- stated as fact -- is not necessarily factual. The same is true of any scientific theory -- without convincing evidence.

God, Who (I believe) created everything there is, left two records of His mighty works of creation:
1. A brief outline description in Scripture -- which is, first and foremost, a document about the spiritual. relationship between God and His creation (including humankind).
2. An extensive record of His marvelous works of creation in all the awesome physical evidence He left for us to study (with the brains He gave us).

I am a born-again believer in God our Creator, in His Word, and in His Son, our Savior -- and I am a physical scientist who is thrilled and awed by continually discovering more about his "second book" -- the evidence of His creative genius.
And the more I study (and pray for understanding of) both -- the less possibility of disagreement I find between the two records. They are both His works. They cannot be in conflict!
IMO, anyone whose [mis]interpretation (of Scripture OR of science) causes them to deny the truth of either one of His "books" puts themselves in the dangerous position of calling Him a liar.
That pie chart stipulated the oxymoronic application of spiritual belief to scientific theory. Whoever formulated the questions sought to stimulate conflict. IMO, they tread on dangerous ground...
All I've got left to say is that of all the recent nonsense to bear the name "science" (including the idea of human culpability in global warming), the most asinine and least provable is the theory of evolution. It is 100% incompatable with any reading of Genesis, save one that completely ignores the actual words. Either it is incorrect or the Bible is. I think I'll cast my lot with God's versiuon of events.
I see that God the Father has revealed Himself in Jesus Christ, in the indwelling Holy Spirit, in Scripture and in Creation (heaven and earth, spiritual and physical). I believe the purpose of “all that there is” is God’s revealing Himself - both this heaven and earth and the heaven and earth to come (Revelation).
Every Christian has at least one Spiritual revelation – when the Truth that “Jesus Christ is Lord” appears in him. If he listens, Christ "knows" him and he follows Him (John 10). Other Spiritual revelations are built on that foundation – whether through Scriptures coming alive within or the leading of the indwelling Spirit (Romans 8). Likewise, the revelations in Creation – both spiritual and physical – add to that foundation (Psalms 19, Romans 1:20).
Like you, TxnMA, I expect all of God’s revelations to be self-consistent. And I have never, ever been disappointed.
