Does the narrative of Adam and Eve and their eating of the Tree of Knowledge survive, and if so, how?

Religion is always in transition but it is not Evolution that threatens that story, it is science. If you want to hang on to a "literal interpretation" you feel threatened. If you are willing to accept that it is a story to illustrate a message, then you can grow with science.

Now we are at the root of the issue. Science and materialism. Fundamentalist Christians and Muslims are feel threatened by science and 'materialism' so both are proposing ID as a wedge to split us from science.

I'm not proposing a thing, you are. I stated right from the beginning that I don't know much about evolution, but I'm getting from you that you consider it a done deal. That is, it's not just a theory, it's a fact.

You said that evolution would not destroy the narrative of Christianity, but then you were not really able to back that up with anything other than growth in religion is tied to science.

I'll give you the last word here, 'cause I have no science background to speak of, and as a result communication between us would be pointless.

It's not about science. It is about evolution, specifically.
