If God desired fellowship with man, then why go through the evolutionary process to produce man, when he could have easily created him instantly.

Time is meaningless to God. If it took 3 billion of years of what we call "evolution", then that is "instantly" in Gods eyes.

By definition, there can be no conflict between Gods word, and Gods creation. And Gods creation tells us that evolution occured.

Since humans always disagree on the meanings of the Bible, and there is such massive evidence to support sciences view of "how things are". I think that it's the "creationists" interpretation that is wrong.

"By definition, there can be no conflict between Gods word, and Gods creation"

Who's definition??

By this definition then we can say the following:
Jesus didnt walk on water.
Jesus didnt make a blind man see.
Jesus didnt resurrect Lazarus.
Jesus didnt feed 5000 with a few fish and some bread.
and most importantly, Jesus did not rise from the dead.

Why can we say this, because science and nature says it CANT happen, and as you said they cannot conflict with God's Word.
