"Evolution fits in Genesis just fine."

As long as you ignore the ordering of creation, move where things were said to be created, that woman came from man, and define day to mean a long period of time that somehow have evenings and mornings, then yeah Genesis fits in just fine.

Since there are two creation stories in Genesis, you tell me which one is the correct one.

Yes, I've heard the interpretation that the second story that begins at Genesis 2:4 is actually just a retelling of the first, and "they're really just one story". Sure.

Bottom line, different people interpret it differently. Pope John Paul II interprets it like I do, and the Catholic church has no problem with evolution.

Practically no one has the same interpretation of the Bible. If they had the same interpretation, then there'd be one Bible denomination, not hundreds. Or thousands.

The evidence found in Gods creation supports me. Since by definition Gods word and Gods creation cannot contradict each other, then my interpretation of Genesis must be correct.
