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.

And Martin Luther concluded that scripture precluded accepting the Copernican model of the solar system. Once you have determined that scripture is wrong about a physical fact, what do you do?

In addition to the fact that there are Christian and Jewish scholars who do not agree with the reference that you have supplied, there is also the matter that not all who believe in a deity are Jewish or Christian.
