"A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." Gal.5:9
Theistic Evolution is a vain effort of fence-straddling, by professing Christians, to appear more cultured, more intellectual, and more educated than those fundamentalist Christians who cling to their guns, Bibles, and Common Sense. Those clingers who believe the Genesis 1 account of Creation is as true today as it was at the dawn of creation when God said, "Let there be light". It should be obvious to anyone that if Genesis 1 is not true, it casts a dark, doubt shadow over the entire Bible that maybe none of it is true. Faith comes only by hearing the word of God (Rom.10:17). Our Christian faith, believing faith, salvation faith is rooted in the truth of God's word, the Bible. Disbelieving any of it neutralizes faith in all of it. If you do not believe in Genesis, you cannot fully believe in the four gospels, the epistles of Apostle Paul or the Revelation. True, believing faith becomes impossible without a trustworthy Bible.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." 2Tim.3:16.
If I can't believe it all, I cannot firmly believe any of it. Theistic evolution requires a disbelief in the Genesis account of creation and therefore opens the gates of hell to prevail against a person acquiring faith, not only in creation but in creation's God and in God's Son Jesus Christ.
Theistic evolution is at the "Y" in the road of life where the "narrow way" and the "broad way" divide. The way of life bears right and the way of destruction bears left... to a dead end. RB

Where Do We Come From?
From Crossway Publication
The debate about biological origins continues to be hotly contested within the Christian church. Prominent organizations such as Biologos (USA) and Faraday Institute (UK) insist that Christians must yield to an unassailable scientific consensus in favor of contemporary evolutionary theory and modify traditional biblical ideas about the creation of life accordingly. They promote a view known as “theistic evolution” or “evolutionary creation.” They argue that God used—albeit in an undetectable way—evolutionary mechanisms to produce all forms of life. This book contests this proposal.
Edited by J. P. Moreland, Stephen Meyer, Christopher Shaw, Ann Gauger, and Wayne Grudem and featuring contributions from two dozen highly credentialed scientists, philosophers, and theologians from Europe and North America, Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique provides the most comprehensive critique of theistic evolution yet produced. It documents evidential, logical, and theological problems with theistic evolution, opening the door to scientific and theological alternatives—making the book essential reading for understanding this worldview-shaping issue.

Michael J. Behe, the author of Darwin’s Black Box, writes,
Theistic evolution means different things to different people. This book carefully identifies, and thoroughly debunks, an insidious, all-too-commonly accepted sense of the phrase even among Christians: that there is no physical reason to suspect life was designed, and that evolution proceeded in the unguided, unplanned manner Darwin himself championed.
Angus Menuge, president of the Evangelical Philosophical Society, writes,
Repeating the error of medieval Christianity, theistic evolution absolutizes the words of finite, fallible humans and relativizes the Word of an infinite, infallible God. As this tremendous and timely collection thoroughly demonstrates, scientific stagnation, circular philosophy, and heterodox theology are the inevitable results. This is simply the best critique of theistic evolution available
