Why go through a six-day process to create man, when He could have done so instantly? Last I checked the Bible says that God created man from the dust of the earth. Why did God create man from dust? Presumably the dust is unnecessary, so why not just poof man out of thin air? Why does the idea that man was created from other life forms make a mockery of Jesus' sacrifice any more than the idea that man came from dust? Is dust so much more noble than other life forms? As far as the rest of your objections to evolution go, they hold no water as evolution isn't concerned with any of these religious ideas. Isn't it possible for God to have created man by the process of evolution, then man sinned and sin entered the world. Why is the origin of man's physical body at all important for any theological belief?

Evolution deals with origin of man, something that is intimately related with religion.

Are you saying sin and death were not in the world prior to man having evolved? Are you saying that somehow Adam's parent species is not tainted by this sin, since they were not from Adam?

Did Christ die just for this evolved man and not Adams immediate ancestor?

Evolution and the Bible are incompatible.
