Um, actually...
So, for starters, even if we don't have biblical timelines for events, we do know for a fact that planets and stars do not form in a day, which puts a crimp in your "seven literal days," theory right from the start.
But that's got nothing to do with evolution, though. That's cosmology. In terms of evolution, your biblical account simply does not match with the fossil record no matter how far back we go. To begin with, we see evidence of human cultures well before your claim that the fall of man happened 6,000 years ago. All over the earth, there are cultures older than that, and we can demonstrate that they were there with ease. Secondly, our evolutionary lineage from ape ancestors to man is very well plotted, as shown in this list of human transitional fossils. This is in direct contradiction to your claim that man was created whole in the garden; we simply demonstrably were not.
So, evolution and a literal reading of genesis are at odds. That's just the way it is.

If you were open minded you would have exposed yourself to some biology textbooks, and never would have resorted to that idiotic "evolved from slime" canard.
