--Yes, and you have a Creationist in here that has read it and doesn't take it 'literally' either , myself!

From your posts I would guess you are a Young Earther ... where does
that belief come from if NOT a literal interpretation of the
bible ?
Why would you reject the concept of evolution unless you take
the Bible to contain the literal truth.
It is possible to interpret Genesis I as an abridged version
of the same tale Evolution tells. The order of the creation
of the universe and of the emergence of
animals is broadly speaking right.
The only reason for arguing against evolution is to adhere to
a literal interpretation of the bible. Or is there some
other reason ?

Define fallacy.
There are few historical events which can be corroborated (see
Historical corroboration thread for the few that sort of fit ...
discuss it there please).
One fallacy, from my world view, would be that the Earth is only
around 6000 years old. (Another thread too).

--So what is it we twist to support creation that is suppost to support evolution?

Huge and bizarre creation of a white hole thingy to satisfy young
earth-old universe
radiometric dating is clearly wrong because it contradicts a literal
interpratation of the bible.
The fossil record MUST have been laid down by the flood!!
You can trace fossil horses through an obvious progression, but
it MUST be illusory becaused there are no forms in between any
two of the sequence!! Likewise ear oscicles.
Rocks couldn't possibly bend like that!!
