"The fact that virtually all scientists believe in evolution isn't a reason?"
Only if majority opinion determines truth, but I think you would agree that historically that hasn't always been the case. There are some fascinating books and articles that challenge the assumption that evolution is capable of explaining the variety of life we find on this plant.
Not majority opinion -- consensus opinion. There are always a few stragglers who pretend to be scientists and disagree -- just like there are still flat earth people out there. But when the consensus is so overwhelming, those folks don't count.
(By the way, if the Bible is really to be taken literally, we would have to conclude that the world is flat. See this: http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/febible.htm)
