Re: In the beginning...
. but that is not the only game in town .
There are a thousand games in town; many we've not even thought of yet. However, of those that have been thought of, all but a general theory of evolution have been eliminated by either evidence or methodology.
Your particular favorite, the God of the Bible, has been eliminated for reasons of parsimony: He adds nothing whatsoever by way of explanation. If you want to reinsert Him you'll need to demonstrate where He does add value to the argument while simultaneously eliminating all other magical causes; i.e., Flying Spaghetti Monsters.
Where is your evidence minus the philisophical trimmings? The fossils, no; evidence for increased genetic information, no.
It is just as important, or more so, that neither of the categories you mention here (thought the second is patently false), or any other catagory ever mentioned anywhere, eliminate ToE as a possible explanation.
Your insistence of being ignorant of the evidence does not delete the evidence. The evidence of ToE is overwhelming. And that it has stood the test of time unscathed is not to be sneered at either.

Pajamas
Their conclusions are based on their interpretations of the evidence which are based on the all powerful explanatory filter of their worldview.
Some months ago I was doing a crossword puzzle and one of the clues was: Teddy in Cuba ” having 9 letters starting with RO. I followed up with the expected OSEVELT. For the life of me I could not advance that corner of the puzzle. It seems that my world view was erroneous. The correct answer was ROTA NOCHE, which is a bad Spanish for night clothes.
One can only force their world view onto a reality so far before contradictions start rearing their ugly heads. ToE does not suffer from these ugly contradictions; whereas, creationism abounds in them.
As evidence for creationism reality fails.
