Theistic Evolution: Unnecessary Compromise

Without Genesis, there is no Christianity.

I’ve heard a lot of Christians say they just don’t believe the literal account of Creation in the book of Genesis. They've become convinced that evolution must be true, so in order to fit that with their faith, they have bought into the lie of Theistic Evolution – the idea that God did create the universe and all that is in it, but that he did so thru evolution. This compromise is not only not necessary, but it actually undermines the whole Christian faith.

Christians wrongly assume that science has proven evolution, so they choose Theistic Evolution in order to reconcile science with their belief in God. The trouble with that is there is no reconciling the two.

Major Problems with Evolution:

There is no evidence for evolution in the fossil record
There is no evidence for evolution in the present (it is not taking place today)
There is no working theory of how evolution takes place
There is no viable explanation in evolution of the origin of life
There is no viable explanation in evolution of the beginning of the universe
There is no real evidence from geology

There are many reasons Christians can’t accept anything but a literal belief in the Genesis account of creation, but the number one reason is the question of evil:

Either man’s fall (sin) caused suffering and death

Or

God caused suffering and death

*If you accept Theistic evolution, you must reject Genesis 1, 2, and 3, and since Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible, you must reject them as well, since he loses his credibility
*If you accept Theistic evolution, you must reject that Adam and Eve existed.
*If Adam did not exist, that makes others in Scripture who spoke of him liars who are no longer credible. That includes Moses, the apostle Paul, and Jesus Himself.
*If you accept Theistic evolution, you must reject the genealogies of Jesus in the New Testament
*If you accept Theistic evolution, you must reject belief in the inerrancy and infallibility of Scripture


Everyone has a right and free will to believe what they will, but evolution takes faith just as much as or more so than Christianity. The real reason evolutionists won’t give up their beliefs is because they reject the thought of a God Who is to be obeyed. Here are a few quotes from noted evolutionists about their beliefs:

“The more one studies paleontology, the more certain one becomes that evolution is based on faith alone” – Professor Louis T. More, evolutionist (The Dogma of Evolutions, page 160)

“The known fossil record fails to document a single example of…evolution…” –Steven M Stanley, evolutionist (Macroevolution: Pattern and Process, page 39)

Evolution is accepted “not because it has been observed to occur or can be proved by logically coherent evidence to be true, but because the only alternative – special creation – is clearly incredible.” – Professor D. M. Watson, evolutionist (quoted by D. James Kennedy, Why I Believe)

“Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it because the only alternative is special creation which is unthinkable.” – Sir Arthur Keith, evolutionist.

“I suppose the reason we leaped at The Origin of the Species was because the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores.” – Sir Julian Huxley, evolutionist.


Many brilliant scientists reject Darwinism. For instance, Paul Lemoine, a former president of the Geological Society of France and director of the Natural History Museum in Paris once said, “The theory of evolution is impossible. At base, in spite of appearances, no one any longer believes in it…Evolution is a kind of dogma which the priests no longer believe, but which they maintain for their people.” The Creation Research Society has over 600 members, most holding advanced science degrees, and all of whom reject Darwinian evolution. The inventor of the MRI, Dr. Raymond Damadian, is an outspoken creationist. So the next time someone tries to tell you that you are uneducated and uninformed to reject evolution, let them know you are in good company with some of the most brilliant minds in the world, including Isaac Newton and Louis Pasteur to name a few.
