OK, I got one.
If you are interpreting the bible so liberally that it is compatible with evolution, you are essentially making up your own arbitrary narrative very loosely based on the bible. This is an observation, not a criticism. I would actually love you to do so.
I'd much rather any given Christian accepted evolution, no matter how weird their reasons for doing so. Or even for no particular reason. Just like I'd rather they reject all the immoral parts of the bible, no matter how they justify this to themselves.
So by all means, make your own narrative! As far as interpretation goes, there is no right answer, so there is no wrong answer either.
