Evolution and Genesis

Why do we assume some ideas are inherently contradictory and may never be reconciled when it may be possible they do not contradict at all, but rather it is our limitations in knowledge that blind us to the pathway that would connect those ideas? 

Some ideas are inherently irreconcilable. No married bachelors, no square triangles etc. There is no logic that may connect those ideas, but as for evolution and the Biblical account of Genesis, why does the skeptic assume one must discount the other? 

If Christ is more concerned with spiritual truths than scientific explanations of natural phenomena, why would we expect Genesis to focus on zoology? 

If common sense tells us snakes do not talk and if the Word of God reveals the serpent in the garden to be Satan, if Christ calls His followers His sheep and those who reject the goats, it does not seem implausible to my mind that perhaps, He being the Author of Scripture would compare Satan to a snake as He does His followers to sheep. 

Would it not be possible for God to choose a culture who told stories imbued with metaphor in their historical accounts, precisely because it fit His preferred way to communicate spiritual truths to all cultures across time?  

Do we explain to children action potentials, synaptic clefts and the somatosensory cortex to prevent them from touching hot stoves? Or do we communicate the danger in a way they understand? 

Was God intending scientific truth in the Genesis account? Do snakes talk? 

And so I believe it possible that God may have simply been trying to communicate the fall of humanity in such a way that the ancients would have understood it in their cultural context, keeping in mind modern man reading such a text baffled, but understanding His purpose through the historical record of His life recorded in the gospels through His use of metaphor. 

How would one reconcile Genesis and evolution? I'll share my thoughts eventually, even though currently I do not accept the theory of evolution wholesale as I tinker with this idea. 

For now, I charge the reader, just because the connection isn't obvious to you, does not mean one does not exist. 

Perhaps it's the limitation of our knowledge. Did Christ rise from the dead? 

If He did then, it's enough to be a Christian, regardless of how you view Genesis...
