They aren't exactly recanting the Genesis narrative. I think most of them are bowing to the inevitable as much as they can by hanging on to Genesis 1:24 - 'And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.'
Granted, it's a little problematic for theists, as God directly created birds and fish, but land animals are brought forth by the Earth, not directly by God. They're using this as a way to accept evolution but clinging desperately to their faith. I take this as a good sign - on some level, they know that biological evolution is a fact, but they just haven't taken the final step of getting God fully out of the equation.
Baby steps.
