Subject: Can scientists make valid arguments of what is taught in the Bible?

Possibly the above and related topic have been already taken up 
many times on here...but please help me to understand better...

I would like to know if it is possible for people with 
scientific background to really believe in what is taught in the 
Bible.  Does one take the Bible as it is, or  make different 
interpretations of what is said in the Bible to fit what is known 
in the scientific findings?

To take one example, considering what we know of the theory of 
evolution, biology, etc., what kind of arguments are made on the 
story of Adam & Eve?  (i.e. were they the first human beings on 
earth? can they have really lived 800 years?)  Were Adam & Eve 
the first apes?  Or first couple that evolved into what we 
consider human beings?  Were they in actuality not in human 
forms, and were they dinosaurs or turtles if they lived for 800 
years?  Was the environmental and atmospheric quality different 
at that time to permit beings to live for almost a millenium?

I apologize if these are such elementary questions...
Thank you in advance for your help!
