My husband and I watched an educational movie about physics recently, and the two theories are highly compatible. What you said would be akin to saying the Big Bang theory is wrong because you believe in Genesis, the Christian creation story, when, if you give it some thought, Genesis is actually a lyrical way and the Big Bang theory a scientific way to describe the same creation.
What I'm trying to say is: all views are not necessarily incompatible. There are endless ways to describe an apple, and to know (or gno) an apple. Because one person says an apple is red and another that an apple is crunchy and another that an apple is sweet does not mean that two of those people are wrong. There are endless ways to describe and know the universe: artists interpret it one way, writers another, theologians another, and scientists yet another. Yes, some theories (the earth is flat; the sun rotates around the earth) are proven wrong, ultimately. But other theories are built upon, expanded, transmuted, conjoined. Keep an open mind.
