And just how many scriptures teach about how God made life? Emphasis on the "how". Grand total, there can't be more than a few hundred words in Genesis about the beginning of the world. How definitive is that?
Combine this with the undeniable fact that there are dozens, perhaps hundreds of different religious denominations that follow the Bible. None of them can agree on exactly what the Bible says about a great many important things.
Of course they can't agree on Creation either. "Proof", if you're ready to accept it, that humans cannot know exactly what God is saying in the Bible. So you're so certain that Evolution isn't allowed in Genesis? I respectfully disagree.
The fact is that many denominations do believe Evolution is how "God did it".
This isn't a fight nearly so much between the faithful people and non-faithful, so much as it is a doctrinal fight like those over many other details of religious belief.
It's just that the danger is that if you listen to the Creationists who say that you must believe their way, or else you have believe that God doesn't exist at all. The sad fact is that some will choose the second. And that's not Evolution or Science's fault. That's the fault of stubborn Creationists and IDers who are being stupid by driving faithful people away from God.
Your criticism didn't touch on my point that believers are being driven away because of this unnecessary fight. I'll assume you agree with me about that.
If they are "driven away" because of this disagreement, they couldn't have been very strong believers in the first place.
You can agree or disagree with Scripture, that's your personal call. Many have tried to graft evolutionary theory on top of the plain reading of Scripture, but this imposition is not supported by a literal reading of Scripture.
I suspect this is done by some in an attempt to rectify the Bible with one theory of science so as to bring it into "modern" times. Wholly unnecessary, as there is plenty of evidence for creation. Conversely, evidence supporting evolution is more of a stretch to fit observable facts (notice I didn't use the words "unprovable assumptions") and certainly it is not based repeatable methodology. But then, creation was a one time event, and we have no way to repeat that experiment, either. But, we can observe the results, and they fit the observable evidence much better than blind evolution.
There was no need for God to use evolution in creation except to satisfy His critics and mollify those who don't believe the Scripture. It's hard to imagine that is a good enough reason for Him. But, some theory like "evolution" is absolutely neccessary if there is no God to do the creating.
As I say, if you choose to believe such a leap, it is your call, but it is not one supported by Scripture.
