I don't think the two concepts are mutually exclusive. If you actually read the Bible, it really isn't that specific on how anything was created, it just says that it was created. I don't see why if an all-knowing deity created something, they wouldn't put a process in place for that creation to adapt/evolve to a changing environment. In fact, to me it's a much more plausible explanation. After all, if God created the earth to change over time through temperature fluctuations, natural disasters, etc. it would only seem rational that God would also allow his living creations to change over time as well. Taking it a step further, I don't think the Big Bang Theory excludes the possibility of a deity existing either. Thoughts?

Creationists and ID proponents do not reject the adaptation mechanism. They reject the proposition that this mechanism links all forms of life in the world. Rather, they support the idea that different forms of life are able to adapt to their environment, but the morphological changes are limited by the genetic codes. So, a wolf can turn into a bulldog over time, through selection, but it will not turn into a dolphin, due to the lack of genetic coding.
