You are correct in stating that there is no inherent conflict between Christianity and evolution unless one absurdly takes Genesis and certain other texts literally.

Except that evolution claims that death reigned before Adam sin. It doesn't matter if you reject Genesis 1-11, Exodus 20:11, 31:17; Hebrews 4:3; Luke 17:26-27; 1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 2:5; and a host of other Creation affirming passages; but it does show a particular brand of ignorance and misunderstanding of the entire Gospel message if you are comfortable with death preceded Adam's sin.

"evolution claims that death reigned before Adam sin."
Forgive my ignorance but I havn't the foggiest notion what
that purports to mean. Ive read the Gospel in Greek and studied it for years by higher critical methods and others.
The creation myths are attempts to explain theologically
that God is the force behind creation. Evolution is NOT
a theory but a fact. What best explains the fact is Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection. To claim that the
Gospel in any way rejects this reality does a disservice
to religion. Besides, you'd be wasting your time fighting
yesterday's battles. The vast majority of scientists and
informed Christians accept evolution.
