Hi Blissful, sorry you haven't stuck around to debate your position.
Church teachings have changed over time as the Magesterium have reinterpreted the Bible and as such I feel it would be possible that the Bible is the Truth written in a manner suited for the people it was intended to be read by: not the scientific Man of today but the spiritual Man of the past. It seems a stretch to take the Bibles word as complete scientific fact if you then reject other scientific fact and evidence.
I wonder why you stopped there. Logically this could be applied to any religion, and you are left with god/s communicating with people in a manner they could understand.
From the point of view of early man, created by God in His image if you will, the world began around 6000 years ago, a time they could understand, and creatures were described as they were at his time. God created plenty of mysteries for people to explore, His very nature being the greatest example, and it seems a bit much to assume that He decided to reveal Creation in complete crystal detail.
Curiously, once you reach this conclusion, you have no need to adhere to a 6000 year old creation.
I'll end by saying I have no agenda in asking this, I'm simply curious of others thoughts and this is a line of thinking which I feel could yield some interesting ideas, though I doubt they'll be conclusive.
To answer your question -- Why is it that God couldn't have made Creation with evolution? -- the answer is obvious:
Evolution exists. It is observed every day. It is observed in the natural history record of this earth.
Therefore, IF god/s created the world as it exists, THEN they must have incorporated evolution in that creation.
Enjoy.
