I think that you have a problem with timetables, distinguishing allegory from actual history and literature from literal fact. Even in the highest of scholarly theogical circles, they do not take the Bible so much as written fact as a tool towards impressing their theology.
In other words, seven days does not literally mean seven days. Who knows why they used these human terms? It could be that those seven days were representative of several million years. Consider the source.
For the record, Immortal Goat, I also lean towards natural selection but, playing the devil's advocate, who's to say that was not a tool that served as a means to an end as well? In other words, I do believe in a force of some kind that has a predetermined purpose but I'm going to have to defer from humanizing said force because I refuse to believe that humans are the "end all" to the ultimate purpose. I believe that we would be vainly remiss in believing that is so.
