Yes, some guy thinks God created the universe, ergo, the sky is falling. Good God man, calm down. Just because someone disagrees with evolution doesn't mean the energy-state death of the universe is at hand.

Are you aware that belief that God created the universe does not necessarily imply a disagreement with the theory of evolution?

I've probably been over it a thousand times. Fine, here's a thousand and one:

The hebrew language used to write the creation account in Genesis is written in hebrew narrative format, which is easily distinguishable from poetic or allegorical hebrew by the sentence structure. Genesis is written in the same format that the levitical law is written. Law codes generally aren't written in allegorical or poetic format.

Differences between narrative and poetic hebrew.

Genesis was written in such a way that it couldn't reasonably be interpreted to be anything other than a factual account. And if you just want my personal opinion, I think that was the intent. It forces people to either recognize the total authority of the Bible or not.

So, in short, the authoritative scriptures of Christianity do preclude belief in evolution, if you study them a bit.
