Some atheists look at the Bible as if it were one book, written in one literary style, with one purpose at one time, and have an "all or nothing at all" view of what is being conveyed. They claim believers "must" reject God and the Bible, or reject science. They are wrong of course. This is an either/or fallacy of false dilemma.
Small groups of fundamentalists treat the Bible as if it has to be read "literally" from cover to cover, which is ironically similar to the atheist view. In addition, they throw in the "ad hominem" = No True Scotsman fallacy, by claiming that "true" Christians will read scripture the way THEY do, even though THEIR view "creates" conflict where none exists for the rest of us.
Billions of educated, mainstream Christians and even Orthodox Jews reject these fallacies, because our scholars and theologians have done their research and know that Genesis 1 - 11 are ancient allegories (teaching stories) much like Christ used parables to teach important SPIRITUAL truths.
The RCC, the Orthodox churches, the Church of England, and all mainstream Christian denominations (oldest & largest) accept evolution, the big bang, etc. because the average ten year old can see that the Bible is not a science textbook, therefore there is no conflict.
Genesis 1 is a song of praise to the miracle of creation – not a science paper. All but the fundamentalists and ironically atheists, fail to see the obvious poetic/ song like elements. Therefore, there is no conflict between science and faith for billions of devout believers around the world.
Our genome contains our entire evolutionary history, as does the genome of every living organism. Denying this is really pointless.

We are animals! Do you think we are vegetables or minerals? How absurd! We are mammals, we are primates, we are vertebrates, we share common ancestry with all living things!
So what if our physical bodies have evolved? It is our souls/spirits (aka "God's image") that are important, not our physical bodies!
Ignorance of abiogenesis (organic chemistry); evolution (biology, genetics, etc.); the big bang (cosmology, physics, astronomy, etc.) will do very little to convince anyone that you should be trusted about matters that have no physical evidence, like the belief in God and our spirituality.
Luke 16:10 -- If you can’t be trusted with unimportant things (physical reality) how can you be trusted with important things (spirituality)?
Science explains the world we believe God created. Why be afraid of knowledge?
This is a Christian website, maybe it will help you understand that there doesn't have to be a conflict between faith and science & there isn't for most Christians (just ignore the ads).

This is a paper by a Russian Orthodox Christian & respected evolutionary biologist:
Theodosius Dobzhansky -- "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution".
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/10/2/l_102_01.html
In this essay from American Biology Teacher, March 1973 (www.nabt.org), Dobzhansky shows how evolution is the cornerstone which supports and unifies the many fields within biology.
Consider this:
One fundamentalist - Prof. Bruce Waltke - even admitted in public that denying evolution is wrong and was then asked to leave his tenured position at a bible college for speaking the truth.
"...the data is overwhelmingly in favor of evolution, to deny that reality will make us a cult ... some odd group that is not really interacting with the world. And rightly so, because we are not using our gifts and trusting God's Providence that brought us to this point of our awareness."
