This is hardly an "obvious trap" Voxx.
To answer the OP: there are several options. There is the path of the fundamentalist, which is to reject all of the experimental and empirical evidence in favor of one's literalistic reading of Genesis. Such a view is unreasonable and is a mockery of the Christian Intellectual Tradition. There is of course the general response of atheists/deists/etc, which holds that because Genesis, as written and interpreted literally, grossly contradicts what all the evidence tells us. Then there is the traditional theistic view, which attempts to reconcile the two by treating Genesis as allegory. This is perhaps the most reasonable option, with one fatal flaw. By eliminating an actual Adam and Eve, there then seems to be no way to arrive at the doctrine of original sin. Thus, I propose a modified version: The Universe is, as the evidence shows us, ~13.5 billion years old. The Earth, in turn, is ~4 billion years old. God created the first single-celled life. Over the next 4 billion years these single-celled organisms evolved and differentiated into the host of living creatures we see both today, and in the fossil record. This includes those early species in the genus Homo. At some point in time, ~150,000 years ago, God elected to create a new species for the genus Homo, Homo Sapiens. This species, unlike the others in the genus, possessed a rational soul. In order to procreate, our First Parent's sons and daughters bore children with the Neanderthal stock already available. This both explains the presence of Neanderthal DNA in our gene sequence, and helps eliminate the incest that would otherwise be present amongst the first generations of mankind. That's how I reconcile them anyway. Take it as you will.
