A literal reading requires a 6000 - 10000 year old Earth, while evolution requires significantly more. If evolution is correct then the Bible is wrong, meaning it is not the literal word of God.

Maybe it depends on the religion :)

I have to go back to Maimonides who said that if science proves the Bible (Torah) wrong, it’s not that the Book is wrong, but it’s the Book we don’t understand and we have to go back and look again at the interpretation.
