The disagreement over literal interpretion of the Book of Genesis is older that Darwin himself, much less ToE. There's nothing remotely "new" about it. "
One of the reasons this disagreement is so ancient is because there are two creation stories in Genesis with two very different names for the creator. In fact, one name is plural, the other is singular.

Also, while you're at it, if you could give me your definition of "magic," I would find that most helpful.
Just trying to "get on the same page" with a stranger....
