So why does it have to be mutually exclusive? I doubt that ancient Hebrew even had a word for evolution and that created could have easily meant a slow rather than an abracadabra process.
Because of the end purpose. If humans are accidents of nature, evolved from primordial soup, then we are not in need of redemption. God created man for His great purpose, man subsequently fell from grace and needed to be redeemed. We alone hold this unique position in all of the known universe.
