> Here's where I may have my facts not quite so straight. And please, if I am wrong, someone correct me! I do believe as well that Judaism is in step with evolution. I believe that Judaism looks at the story of Adam and Eve as a creation tale/myth.
There's more than one kind of Judaism. Mainstream groups probably regard Genesis as a metaphor. Extremely Orthodox groups take it literally, but they don't demand that everyone agree with them.
What most Christian Creationists have resorted to is Intelligent Design, which they *claim* is valid science, but hardly anyone in the larger community of scientists agrees with them. It's Creationism stripped of overt Fundamentalist Christianity. I once read it described as "Creationism Light".
