You can choose to interpret the Bible literally and view it as 100% inerrant, and reject modern science as a great conspiracy against God, or you can interpret the Bible symbolically, learning from the lessons and viewing it as a historical document, taking into account what people knew when it was written. A literal interpretation of the Bible says that the world is only 4,000 years old, so yeah, your choice.
ETA: By your mention of "mass" I am assuming that nittanynephew is Catholic. I am pretty sure Pope John Paul II accepted evolution.
