"What isn't so clear for a lot of people who believe those accounts is HOW that deity did all that creating."

Oh, its clear.

Gen 1:3 - And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

Gen 1:9 - And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so

Gen 1:11 - Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so.

Gen 1:14-15 - And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so.

Gen 1:24 - And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so.

The Bible and evolution are incompatible. The order of events in the creation disagree with evolution (i.e. birds before land animals), the fact that all this happened in 24 hour days disagrees with evolution, and most of all, the fact that death is required for evolution to progress, make macro evolution incompatible with the Word of God.
