I speak only for myself.

My understanding of scripture, particularly the Torah, is that it is a multi-layered writing, of which the literal story of creation is only the simplest level.

Deeper reading into the Torah reveals understanding that makes the literal accuracy of the simple story unimportant. Remember that the author is writing from a perspective outside of time.

That being said, evolution as it is presented by Darwin’s followers, is an unacceptable belief, simply because it is the most inelegant, least likely and most improbable accounting for what we see in our world.

In addition to not passing the smell test, it is (despite what its adherents claim) not a real theory, because it is not demonstrable or repeatable.

People believing in a six day creation look far less silly than people believing in spontaneous punctuated equilibrium.

The Bible exists more for edification than explanation. If you are a real student of science, I would guess that there are things about evolutionary “theory” that make you at least uneasy.
