Thought experiment -- Imagine that Genesis begins with Adam and Even in the Garden, no mention of creation. (If you can't do this much, don't bother answering). Imagine evolution does not confliect with a literal reading of the Bible, would there suddenly be enough scientific evidence to support evolution?

There is already enough scientific evidence to support evolution....no need for a bible.

With no mention of creation, then we are left wondering why God bothers with Adam and Eve in the first place. The whole beginning of man just simply starts right there. If evolution is put under the same constraints, no fossil records, no evidence of previous life found, then would one be able to conclude that we evolved?
Even in Genesis, it appears to be a reconstruction of the earth after some cataclysmic event. The creation of Adam and Eve and the modern animals appear to be more like genetic engineering than even "magic" or evolution. How do you create something "after its kind" if it never existed in a previous way before?

There is already enough scientific evidence to support evolution. The Bible cannot support itself, much less argue with established scientific facts.

No since all things were created from nothing there would be no way for evolution to work.

Not really because it would be just like the Cambrian explosion where main phyla are found without any predecessors which cannot be explained by evolution.

I'd say there would be less argument, but that doesn't mean it would suddenly be a good theory. There would be too much unchecked speculation since there is no good way to falsify any hypothesis.

no, because evolution is a process and you are trying to begin with an end result...

The Bible does not state the age of the earth.

haha... YES
We understand biological evolution more than we understand mass and gravity
