Consider the K-T event -- did God steer and/or cause a 8 to 10 diameter asteroid to impact the Earth in the location of the now Yucatan Peninsula releasing the equivalent of 2 million hydrogen bombs? You can believe this, if you wish; I don't. Either God caused the event to happen (which means that he is perverse) or he allowed it to happen (which either means that he is perverse, or not powerful, which means that he is not God).
I just want to clarify, but you seem to be taking an opposing position; to the OP, and the often heard (religion doesn't evaluate new info). I wouldn't say that you can reconcile anything, but I believe what you are speaking of is talking about a general description, in scripture (which I don't believe the intent was to be scientifically exhaustive), vs a more detailed scientific explanation. Then yes, I don't see any issue with reconciling them. I don't think that science goes against it; so there isn't a problem.
And to be clear, the post after yours is correct, My position on evolution is dependent on what you are talking about in regards to evolution (and the reasons you give to support it).
As to your other comments, that is an issue; dealing with morality (which if you take a subjective view of morality, then you have no argument), but either way is off topic.
Adam & Eve (together, as a couple) did not exist; their existence has been disproven, formally falsified, in that the human race did not descend from two individuals. Now, if such was not the case (that the human race did, in fact, descend from two parents), then people like you would be saying that the Bible was correct and using scientific findings as proof.
