Yes, in reading that passage in context, it says that God created different varieties of animals. And that tells me what about evoloution?

At the risk offending some here by "preaching" some more (i.e. posting the verses), in order to answer your question:

Yes, He created different varieties of animals. But, that's not all it says, and it's also worth noting that it's said over and over. (Words mean things.) He made them according to their kinds. He made them in accordance with their own species. He said the land would produce creatures according to their kinds -- not changing kinds.

Unless you believe that producing according to their kind means producing identical replicas, such production is going to result in variation from one generation to the next. (You don't look exactly the same as your parents, do you?) If variation is being produced, and there's a process that "rewards" certain kinds of variation and "punishes" others, your variations are going to accumulate in certain directions. Keep this process and this "directed" variation up for a long time, and there's nothing to prevent speciation . . .

and all without contradicting a single word that you've quoted.

Ahh so God spoke in English, and the every word that you quoted was exactly how it was said and had the exact same meaning through umteenth number of transalations for the past 2.5K+ years. Right?

Don't take every single word in the bible as ultimate fact and immutable
