The problem is that it DOES!!!
Oh, it CLAIMS that it doesn't, but there is no other reason we have these C vs E threads; is there? ;^)

Well, I don't see theology in evolution anyway.
Genetically, there was a final mutation that crossed the line into something we can call man. Genetically, we can assume that this mutation was dominant, because man survived. Also, a single male can father a lot more of its kind than a single primate female. That Adam and Eve may bhave been autstralopithecus, and that the memory of a distant Eden with the world "East" of it (think of "East" not as a Cartesian, but in terms of the direction of the morning sun, and you realize that if you are in southern Africa during the travelling season, the sun rises in the North east and the whole world is East of Eden.
There was certainly a flood that mankind experienced. It's in the racial memory everywhere. There are also cities underwater and the truth that at the end of the last ice age, the seas rose sharply. Everyone in the world experienced that, and it too is a racial memory. That Genesis contains some of the most distant and primitive racial memories of man is almost certainly true.
But what is GOD'S point in the story?
I made everything, including you, and you sinned and are estranged from me. That's the nutshell version of the early part of Genesis. The scientific details aren't scientific, and end up being shoals for the faith of many if taken literally. St. Augustine strongly warned against a silly literalism in that regard, and I think he was right. Want to make faith IMPOSSIBLE, then insist to a biologist that evolution is impossible because of Genesis.
