AMEN!

But it seems that your interest in evolution amounts to finding ways to make it entirely compatible with Genesis. Not so interesting.
Why not read Genesis less literally to encompass everything that evolutionary science ever discovers? I really don't see why there needs to be a conflict so long as you don't insist on a literal reading.

In that God took his finished/good product and evolved a portion of him into "Eve." Because even though Man was found "good" the circumstance in which man live was incomplete.
No where in scripture does does it say "good" is always complete.
If you pretend to think evolution could be the chosen method of God to carry out creation, why in the world do you insist on going literal over Adam's rib? Evolution was good enough for everything from amoebas to gorillas but when it came to man .. that took the master's direct intervention? Why? Aren't we made out of the same meat and blood as every other creature, wired with the same neurons and procreate in the same manner as other mammals? Is God too feeble to have brought man into being via evolution if He so desired? I lose patience.
