You set up a false dichotomy. I would call myself a believer in both... though to "believe" in science and to "believe" in the Bible require using different senses of the word "believe".
Just because a human can't wrap their minds around the enormous complexity of building a whole creature through evolution doesn't make it past God's ability.
Yes, but evolution contradicts the Bible. On the one hand, the Bible claims that there was no death until Adam and Eve sinned, yet evolution requires millions of years of death before that. Not to mention the "incongruities" (to say the least) of the creation account given in the Bible and the "creation account" provided by the theory of evolution. You can believe in "a god" and believe in evolution, but you can't believe in the God of Christianity and believe in evolution without being inconsistent.
Just because you understand the principle of the mechanism doesn't mean you understand the thing the mechanism built, or why it was built.
Ah! In fact, they don't understand the mechanism. They have no mechanism that can account for evolution. That's one of the big misconceptions about evolution.

It comes down to one simple fact. Evolutionist do not want to/or cannot believe in a Biblical God, because, they do not want to be accountable to anyone but themselves!
It takes more faith to believe in evolution than it does to believe in a God!

I suspect that the divide between Scientific American readers and teachers of "nonsense" is rooted in philosophical differences that this article doesn't address. On one side are the believers of science, and on the other believers of the Bible.
I believe both, and I also believe that many church leaders would benefit from being a little more open minded here. Just because a human can't wrap their minds around the enormous complexity of building a whole creature through evolution doesn't make it past God's ability.
Many scientists would also benefit from being a little less arrogant. Just because you understand the principle of the mechanism doesn't mean you understand the thing the mechanism built, or why it was built.
