- Why not evolution? 3 Reasons
- Biblical – no hint of it in Genesis
- Biblical/Theological – Romans 5:12 – Death came through Adam. Adam produces death, not death produces Adam.
- Scientific – No evidence that is not equal evidence for special creation.
- Atheistic evolution impossible/show, theistic evolution compromise
- If no evidence, why evolution? Romans 1:18-23
- It is the result of a lack of thanksgiving on the part of created beings … who then elevate created things to God’s position.
- The problem is moral, not primarily scientific.
- Who is the Creator?
- Not us / Psalm 100, “It is He…” Col. 1:16,17, John 1:1-3 / Jesus our Lord
- In Genesis we see the Father and Spirit involved but doesn’t lessen the fact that Jesus is Creator.
- What is created? Everything, including and especially mankind
- Everything that is non-God
- Col. 1 and John 1 again
- Response? Praise and thanksgiving, Romans 1 again
- Best answer to evolutionist is to be joyful in your creaturliness. Also, thanks for the functions of being a creature. Say grace for eating, drinking, lovemaking, breathing, bathing, running, etc.
- Ps. 139:14 – Not just the things, but the created ability to enjoy them / We are also sons, but that’s not the point here.
