Why I am not a Theistic Evolutionist

4. Why I am not aTheistic Evolutionist

7. Evolutionary Interpretation: “The evolution of the organic world, from the synthesis of the first complex molecules endowed with the faculty of reproducing their kind, to the most advanced type of life must have taken place roughly within the past two billion years on our planet. All the facts of biology, geology, paleontology, biochemistry, and radiology not only agree with this statement but actually prove it. Evolution of the animal and plant world is considered by all those entitled to judgment to be a fact for which no further proof is needed.” Goldschmidt

9. Darwin’s View of Miracles “The clearest evidence would be requisite [required] to make any sane man believe in the miracles by which Christianity is supported , - that the more we know of the fixed laws of nature the more incredible do the miracles become.” Charles Darwin (1876)

10. Evolutionary Interpretation: “There are no hypotheses, alternative to the principle of evolution with its “tree of life”, that any competent biologist of today takes seriously. Moreover, the principle is so important for an understanding of the world we live in and of ourselves that the public in general, including students taking biology in high school, should be made aware of it, and of the fact that it is firmly established even as the rotundity of the earth is firmly established.” Herman J. Muller, Nobel Prize winner

17. Theistic Evolution cannot allow a finished Creation!

18. Psalms 33: 6-9 “By the word of Jehovah were heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. He gathered the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the deeps in storehouses. Let all the earth fear Jehovah; Let the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.”

19. Was Adam a Real Person? Romans 5:14,“Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them who sinned after the similitude pf Adam’s transgression.” 1 Timothy 2:13, “For Adam was first formed, then Eve.” Jude 14, “Enoch also, the seventhfrom Adam…”

23. Darwin’s View of Miracles “The clearest evidence would be requisite [required] to make any sane man believe in the miracles by which Christianity is supported , - that the more we know of the fixed laws of nature the more incredible do the miracles become.” Charles Darwin (1876)

38. Science and Geology “Slowness has really nothing to do with the question. An event is not any more intrinsically intelligible or unintelligible because of the pace at which it moves. For a man who does not believe in a miracle, a slow miracle would be just as incredible as a swift one.” G.K. Chesterton

40. “Species Are Immutable” Carolus Linnaeus Father of Modern Taxonomy

43. Special Theory of Evolution “There is a theory which states that many living animals [and plants-DAE] can be observed over the course of time to undergo changes so that new species are formed. This can be called the “Special Theory of Evolution” and can be demonstrated in certain cases by experiment.” G.A. Kerkut, Implications of Evolution, 1960, p157

47. Each Christian’s Responsibility “Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready to give an answer to any man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you . . .” 1 Peter 3:15

48. Each Christian’s Responsibility “Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready to give an answer to any man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you - with meekness and fear.” 1 Peter 3:15
