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

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.

         I've found no need to avoid a literal interpretation of world and life origins, even if we accept evolution of the directed sort.

        "Let there be light." The heavens were stretched out as a tent (a small indistinct wad into a large, stretched, more complex structure : The big bang is all the rage with the eggheads.

         "...the circle of the earth." which can be interpreted as "...the roundness of the earth.": Magellan would like a word with you.

        "A day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day.": A feller named Albert was all over that.

        There is a much abreviated description of an "evolutionary" progression from light, to celestial bodies, to seas and aquatic life, to terrestrial advanced life (including mankind. Adam was a special 8th day creation) within a period of 6 days (see: that Albert feller.): A guy named Charley had something to say about this.

        Granted, there is very little material to work with. But if you are willing to indulge some metaphorical and figurative language, a literal interpretation does not necessarily contradict "science".

       P.S. Oh, and the Westboro "Baptists" are agitprop shills tasked with performing for the 'Two Minute Hates' of the shill MSM newscasts. The purpose is to provoke maximum HATRED in their enlightened tools and stooges for Christians and their children who try to be sincere and independent of the Luciferian Unity "Church". This will make things easier come 'The Great Culling' after 'The Big Glitch' to save the planet from 'Global Warming'.
