The fossil record fits best with progressive creation

And attempt to reconcile evolution with Scripture ends in tears. A much more sensible approach for Christians is progressive creation over millions of years - it fits the fossil record much better than evolution and is theologically acceptable (no need to deny the plain words of Genesis 2:7 (re the creation of Adam from inanimate matter), for example).

@Edgar,

If God wanted us to disbelieve Evolution … he wouldn’t have chosen a method of Special Creation that looks JUST LIKE evolution.

I think that’s pretty much the crux of the situation.
