People who deny biblical creation often claim that as long as Christians affirm the doctrines that are essential for salvation, we should not be divisive over secondary issues, and place creation firmly in the “secondary” category. The theistic evolutionists at BioLogos, for example, show that far from only affecting “minor, secondary” doctrines, their view requires radical reinterpretation of the creation narrative, including the loss of the historical Adam, historical Fall, and global Flood of Noah’s day. In such attempts to reconcile the Bible and evolution, no biblical doctrine goes unscathed.
Because theistic evolution and the Bible are mutually exclusive, both cannot be right. And since foundational doctrines that affect the gospel are at stake, we cannot withhold criticism. This series of articles shows how Christians can respond to compromising curricula and gives a robust defense of the plain, historical interpretation of the Genesis creation account.
