How does evolution theory work with the creation story? The Bible doesn't say that God created apes and evolved them.
To understand the above we have to understand the chronology behind the current evolution theory.
1. Theory of special creation: The greatest supporter of this theory was father suarez. According to this life was created by supernatural power. According to bible, the 1st man was Adam and the 1st woman was Eve.
2. Theory of spontaneous creation: This theory states that life originated from nonliving things in a spontaneous manner. This concept was held by Greek philosophers like Thales, Plato, Aristotle.
3. Biogenesis: The above theory was discarded by the works of Francesco Redi(Jar experiment), Spallanzani's experiment and Pasteur's bottleneck experiment. They all approved biogenesis that the living originated from the pre-living.
4. Modern theory or Oparin-Haldane theory of origin of life : According to this theory life originated on early earth through physico-chemical processes of atoms combining to form molecules, molecules in turn reacting to produce inorganic and organic compounds. Organic compounds interacting to produce all types of macromolecules which organised to form the first living system or cells. Thus according to this theory life originated upon our earth spontaneously from non-living matter. First inorganic compounds and then organic compounds were formed in accordance with everchanging environmental conditions. This is called chemical evolution. The above was prooved by MILLER'S experimemt and SYDNEY FOX'S experiment.
The summary of origin of life: 
Four theories have been put forward to explain the mode of evolution that is origin of species:
1. Lamarckism, 2. Darwinism, 3. Hugo De Vries mutation theory, 4. Synthetic theory of evolution/ Modern theory.
Here we shall discuss about the modern theory or the synthetic theory of evolution.
It is also known as Neo-Darwinism and is based on-
1. Genetic variation- Mutations, gene recombination, gene migration, genetic drift, founders effect, non-random mating, hybridization.
2. Isolation- Reproductive isolation for prevention of interbreeding between 2 different species.
3. Heredity
4. Natural selection.
