I do not find it incompatible to accept evolution and at the same time accept and believe in the Holy Bible.

I can list hundreds of incompatibilities, you are better believing either all of Evolution or all of Creation because the syncretism of the two defies reason, science and the evidence.

James 1:8  he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

2 Pet 3:5-6  For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water,  by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.

* Evolution says that Man evolved from animals. The Bible says that man is a special creation made from the dust.

Why do you insist on putting limits on G_d? He is all powerful, not you.

The Bible was put to paper(papyrus, stone,etc) using the words of men, however precise(or imprecise) they were capable of at the time.

So, explain to use oh sage, how long ago the dinosaurs roamed? 9000 years ago? And I guess the mega tons of fossils sitting in museums are artifacts?

To believe Evolution, you must say that Genesis 1-11 is allegory, poetry or myth

And why not? What makes allegory, poetry, or myth anything less than True?

When reviewing the lineage of Jesus Christ in Luke 3:23-38, at what point does the lineage turn from actual people into allegory, poetry or myth?

Everything up to the Genocide of the Caananites is bogus.

Please give me the exact scripture which states that this earth is 6000 + or - a few years old.

Your IIPeter 3:5-6 also says that this was the world that then was, talking about the same flood that Jeremiah 4 talks about. Not talking about Noah's flood Peter talks about that flood in the previous chapter.

God created the earth & everything on it. The method God used is called evolution.

I guess you're correct, given those two choices I'll have to follow the logic of science and understand that the bible is a collection of writings by humans trying their best to understand and describe the world around them. I don't fault the writers for being incorrect, they just didn't yet have the knowledge necessary to understand science. Due to their lack of knowledge they used tribal myths and fantasys to fill in the gaps. This is a very familar pattern common to most ancient human tribes.
