"Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science in spite patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of the failure to fulfull many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance the scientific community for unsubstantiated just so stories because we have a prior commitment to materialism. Its not just the methods and institution of science some how compels us to accept material explanation of phenomenal world but on the contrary that we're forced by ......... [in the first place] to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and set of concepts that produce a material explaination. No matter how counter intutive , no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover materialism is absolute because we cannot allow the divine foot in the door."
[Richard Lewontin, Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology at Harvard, "Billions and Billions of Demons", New York Review of Books, Vol. 44, 1997.]

Your literalism is based on the errant assumptions of a midieval monk named Ussher. Even the early church fathers of the first few centuries accepted the possibility of taking Genesis figuratively in light of new discoveries.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. Mark 10:5,6. And he [Jesus] answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, Matthew 19:4. Was Jesus lying or just ignorant?

Jesus was neither lying nor ignorant. These verses neither disprove evolution nor prove a literal creation. Some time during the very old history of the Earth, God had created sexual reproduction. The Cambrian explosion of 500 million years ago accounts for this, and these verses actually seem to be in harmony with it.
