The Bible doesnt say anything about evolution.

No, because no one had any idea how biology worked back then, and it wasn't because these were dumb people, but because we have the benefit of thousands of more years of scientific inquiry and discovery.

So it's not that the Bible says anything about evolution, it's that the observations and scientific theories crafted around evolution do not fit the Bible narrative of the creation myth.

The people who are using that book interpreted the Bible a certain way and just rejected evolution because they couldnt or wouldnt make it fit with their beliefs.

That is religious fundamentalism in a nutshell.

That is the real problem. You dont have to be Christian OR believe evolution is a real thing. Thinking in dichotomies sucks so much and is the source of so many societal problems. Im glad you are educating your nieces

Eh.... no evolution is a real thing whether you believe in it or not. That's the real problem. You can believe whatever you like, but it won't make it so you aren't an ape descended from a lineage of mammals shared by other great apes and primates.

We have evidence of evolution now, it's not just speculation... we can even observe it to some degree with fruit flies.
