Then why do you believe in evolution when God said in His word.....

Gen 2:7 then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.

and....

Gen 2:19a Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens ...

The only lies that are being promoted to make God's Word more believable, are that He used evolution instead of doing it the way He said He did.

The lie is trying to fit Scripture to match science instead of just accepting Scripture as it is.

Does is fit with current scientific thinking? Not in all respects but who's to say that current scientific thinking is right anyway? Science is subject to change and revision as new data comes in. How can that be used as a reliable standard to determine the truth or accuracy of something else.

Above all, a scientist should realize the value is using standards that do not change. That's why the SI is used for scientific research.

Why when there's a conflict, is Scripture wrong by default?

The cited scripture asserts THAT God created man and beast. It did not state how. Do you believe that the primitives the Creation story was given to would have had the language and science capabilities to understand had God told them of DNA helix's and natural selection? Are you asserting that God did not create science?

Ah, the crux of the matter, at last.

Simply put, faith is about belief without proof. Science is about proof without belief. I cannot prove that God exists; I believe it to be so. I can prove that gravity exists; no belief is required.

Faith and science are complementary; either can exist without the other. However, neither can replace the other. To attempt to do so is a logical fallacy of the first order.
