Creation Question: Can Evolution and the Bible both be right?

Can Evolution and the Bible both be right?
This is a surprisingly tough question for most Christians, although the answer is pretty simplistic. If Evolution is true, the Bible cannot be true. The Bible says “For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day; and hallowed it” (Exodus 20:11). The Bible says God made everything in six literal days and Evolution says everything was created through slow gradual processes over Billions of years. So the Bible and evolution can not both be true. If we take this a step further we have to ask ourselves another question. If the Bible is not true how can we tell right from wrong? The answer is clear, we can’t. Truth would be just be everyone’s opinion of what truth is, which isn’t truth at all! Thats why I am glad the Bible is true and evolution is a false doctorine. Since the Bible is God’s perfect word and it tells us what is right and wrong, we can know truth.

You had me up until the end. If evolution and the bible both cannot be true, by what basis do you choose one over the other?

Aside from all the lacking evidence for evolution, logic alone can rule it out. If evolution were true how would anyone be able to tell what is right or wrong? The answer is clear, we wouldn’t be able to.The Bible makes it absolutely clear what is right and wrong.
