He was born dead. God intervened, fixed him up, taught him to speak and showed him that there was no one with whom he could mate. Because he was the only one of his kind, God removed part of Adam's side and created Eve. I think this is an important point. One of the draws of the young-earth creationists is that they say there is no way that the creation of Eve can be compatible with evolution.
Theistic evolution contradicts the Bible both historically and doctrinally.
As to the historical approach, there is one fact which should forever settle the matter for Bible-believing Christians. There is a fact which cannot possibly be wrested and fitted into an evolutionary interpretation. It is expressly stated in Scripture that Eve was formed from a portion of the side of Adam, which the Lord removed for that purpose. This is usually said to be a rib, for the term is so translated in the King James version of the Bible. Since the Bible plainly states that the first woman was formed from a part taken from the side of the first man, we are given a detail of creation which cannot be forced into any theory of evolution.
