Creation vs

Creation vs. Evolution (excerpts from The Companion Bible, Appendix 5)

Basically there is no room for evolution without a flat denial of Divine revelation. One must be true, the other false.

Man starts from nothing. He begins in helplessness, ignorance, and inexperience. All his works, therefore, proceed on the principle of evolution. (Hut to palace, canoe to ocean liner, etc.) But the birds build their nests today as they did since the beginning.

The moment we pass the boundary line, and enter the Divine sphere, no trace or vestige of evolution is seen. There is growth and development within, but no passing. Some may say that we are devolving since we can’t claim the same abilities as our Biblical forerunners, such as longevity. Technology works against our natural selves as much as it benefits us.

On the other hand, all God’s works are perfect.

In Genesis God (or He) created six times (1.1, 21, 27(x3); 2.3)

Evolution is only one of several theories invented to explain the phenomena of created things. It is admitted by all scientists that no one of these theories covers all the ground; and the greatest claim made for Evolution, or Darwinism, is that "it covers more ground than any of the others."

The Word of God claims to cover all the ground; and the only way in which this claim is met, is by a denial of the inspiration of the Scriptures, in order to weaken it (done by "Higher Criticism" which limits all understanding to human assumptions and reasoning, instead of documentary evidence of manuscripts as in "Textual Criticism").

Bottom line: To receive Evolution as fact is to place one’s faith in the "limitlessness of man’s understanding". Needless to say, this is an insult to the Creator, inspired by human pride. By definition this is idolatry to science and to self. Therefore, one cannot believe both in God and in Evolution.
