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.

i would imagine those who read that also read genesis saying he had created all creatures in a single day. evolution is not a single day process. the heavens and earth were a single day in the scriptures as well. unless one is willing to delete these single day claims from the scripture and rewrite it, it is still contradicting what has taken place in reality, and the problem doesnt go away.
I know that we know this is a problem, but I want believers to realize that the one who spoke the genesis story was suppose to have been inspired by god, or told to him directly in person by god to tell us these things. I want the readers to realize that if it werent for these people who spoke these things, and wrote these scriptures this god wouldnt even be known in this world, and wouldnt exist. a god that has never revealed himself to humans is a god that doesnt exist, and humans who say he has revealed himself and spoke these lies, agian doesnt exist. I want readers to realize that they are taking these prophets word for it that he exists but to look at the errors in what they say when they speak about this version of god. how can one trust someone when they say a new god exists but make claims you know are lies. you would instantly know this god this person speaks of simply doesnt exist based on what this person is telling you.
