For example the Bible at Romans 5:12 seems to say that death came into the world because of Adam's sin. Theistic evolution seems to say that death existed long before man even entered on the the scene. How do you address such issues?
I take death there to mean spiritual death not physical death. I would guess before that everything was in relationship with God as it should be, but after the first sin spiritual death entered the world.

What do you mean?
The interpretation of Genesis now (which I read from Keith Ward) seems to have more meaning behind it than taking it literally. It tells us more about the world.
