I thought you wanted to say the ten commandments are in contrast to survival of the fittest, or something similar.

Yes that is what I was saying.

If you don't take the bible literally, you can easily say that God creating earth and life in seven days was a way for people 2500 years ago to imagine how everything started. You can still believe in Heaven and Jesus dying for your sins. That's the essence of not taking something literally.

Of course, evolution is nowhere mentioned in the bible, but neither is electricity and yet, even members of the Westboro Baptist Church use electric light.

Yes I suppose you could twist everything around and fool yourself so that it somehow fits with the modern science. But for what reason would someone then even believe in such nonsense if he accepts science? Why not just take science and forget about the bed-time story level material?

People who strictly believe in creationism at least do not have to fool themselves as they just believe in creationism as it was intended. Of course that makes them unable to accept the modern science. But the two are fundamentally incompatible anyway.
