Most reasonable minds don’t think that Darwin and Genesis contradict each other at all. Even the Pope has said this. The general idea is that Genesis is just a metaphor for what actually happened. It was never meant to be a scientific explanation of all the exact details. Darwin, or evolution, is the scientific explanation of part of the sequence (the part with life, not the part with creating the planets, day and night, etc).
However, there are those who insist on taking every word in the bible literally. They will forever believe that god created the universe in six 24 hour days.
You will never convince these people that Genesis is a metaphor and that Darwin and Genesis can co-exist without contradicting each other. Their minds are just too closed to accept that.
