"as long as one doesn't use these religions as a pretext to try to rewrite natural history."

According to these religions... they wrote "Natural History".

But you do get extra credit for seeming like you know what you're talking about.

If you're saying that these religions' view of natural history is different than the scientific view, than how can you complain that there's no room for them in the scientific view? Why should there be? How could the scientific view possibly accommodate all religious beliefs, when they're incompatible with each other, as well as with science?

Again, you're comparing two different belief systems--one that relies on the scientific method, versus one that relies on divine revelation. You're entitled to believe either one, but it shouldn't be surprising that they're incompatible.

And as to your original question, if you're a Bible literalist, then apparently there's no room in Christianity for evolution, either, so I don't even understand the question.

Evolution is not science. It is pseudo science. It is an ideology. Science has theorems and gives proof of them. Evolution has neither a theory nor proof of it.
