I don't agree it has to be God versus evolution.
God is not Allah. He doesn't do things on a whim.
He is not whimsical, but rather a master craftsman who first built the rules of this physical universe He made for us, and then used these rules to create creation. He creates things His way, which is perfect. In that way physics and time are His tools.
My point is we do see evidence of millions and billions of years gone by. We see fossils of different ages of creatures in primitive forms. We can watch an embryo and see that at different stages, we see the fish before the reptile, the gills change to the inner ear bones, before we note the final creature that is being created.
We didn't know these things back in the days of Israel because we hadn't learned all His rules yet. We still hardly know them (looking thru a glass, darkly).
All these things simply point to the Majesty of our Lord, not in any way used to defy His existence. To me, such scientists are fools.
They cannot see God reveals Himself in their discoveries.
I know my believe that God uses His rules to create the universe is not a popular opinion, but there it is. He wants us to understand His rules (science) and their beauty/majesty.
I agree with you.
