Rather, evolution has nothing to do with Christianity, other than dictating to God how He cannot create life. It must be in a particular way that is also not mentioned in the Bible, such as an instantaneous rearrangement of atoms similar to a Star Trek replicator. A flash of light and puff of smoke might also add emphasis.

I pretty much find that creationists simply don't understand the theory, and all their counter arguments are from a standpoint of incorrect assumptions. Here is how I reconcile it with the Bible, however, with God raising man from the "dust of the Earth":

Through generations of passing on mutations that are either beneficial or detrimental to survival, evolution endows a species with abilities to cope with its environment, and nothing more. So how does that explain humans? How does the ability to build cities, computers, and space shuttles help us to survive our environment? Evolution cannot explain it, or provide for it. The 2nd most intelligent animal on Earth, the ape, is nowhere near the level of humans. The smartest one in history would utterly fail a class for kindergarteners. So there is something that evolution cannot fully explain: ourselves.
