If evolution is true, then God is a liar

Not at all. At most, if evolution is true, then your interpretation of the Bible may not be accurate. Too bad for you, but that's not my problem.

Evolution and the Bible do not mix

Again, you go much too far. If your interpretation of the Bible and evolution are not compatible, that's your problem, not mine, not that of science, and certainly not God's.

evolution is 100% external to the Bible

As is germ theory, the theory of gravity, and nuclear physics. So what? The Bible is not a science textbook. If you want to limit human understanding of the natural world to that present 2000 years ago, I suggest you turn off your computer, throw away your penicillin, and get yourself a goat.

I think you have a smaller understanding of the tenets of evolution if you don’t understand how it affects morality

Not to put too fine a point on it, but that's just sophistry. My morality is not affected by understanding that species evolve through the process of natural selection any more than its affected by understanding that the earth revolves around the sun, that microbes invisible to the naked eye are responsible for infection, or that the earth may be slightly older than six thousand years old.*

*please tell me you don't also dispute any of these last three items
