I believe what I believe, and that makes me what I am!! Ive never even heard of the writers you posted or heard their names, but I believe what the Bible says, not what a human says!

We cannot say: creation or evolution, inasmuch as these two things respond to two different realities. The story of the dust of the earth and the breath of God, which we just heard, does not in fact explain how human persons come to be but rather what they are. It explains their inmost origin and casts light on the project that they are. And, vice versa, the theory of evolution seeks to understand and describe biological developments. But in so doing it cannot explain where the ‘project’ of human persons comes from, nor their inner origin, nor their particular nature. To that extent we are faced here with two complementary — rather than mutually exclusive — realities.

– Cardinal Ratzinger, In the Beginning

no Christian should brag about not knowing of Gregory or Origen

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_Nazianzen

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origen_of_Alexandria

maybe that is part of the problem.
