Introduction
• Is it possible for a Christian to
believe in evolution and still be
pleasing to God?
• Evolution = the idea that all living
things came from a single cell
• All living things developed by natural
processes from a single cell

Why Be Concerned?
• 1. Evolution denies God and the
Bible
• 2. It is taught in schools
• 3. It is Anti-biblical---Anti-Christ
• Evolution strikes at the heart of
inspiration and the Deity of
Christ

Why Be Concerned?
• 4. Because of its influence
• It is driving God from the hearts
and minds of men and women
who come under its influence
• Leads to materialism—
immorality—more crime—less
self discipline—leads to atheism

Evolution
• Atheistic = life came from a
single cell which was produced
by accident

Evolution
• Theistic = all things came from a
single living cell, but the cell was
created by God . This theory
contends that God used this
method to bring life into
existence

Evolution Contradicts The
Bible
• Evolution says the
one cell or simple
matter was neither
male nor female
but slowly evolved
into sexes at the
same time-then
became able to
reproduce
• The Bible teaches
that from the
beginning there
was male and
female-with the
capability to
reproduce
• Gen. 1:28
• Mt. 19:4

Evolution Contradicts The
Bible
• Evolution says

been perfect---
but is getting
better and better
by the process
of evolution

teaches that the
first man and
woman were
perfect----but fell
by the sin of
disobedience

their kind”

Evolution Contradicts The

• Evolution teaches
that the earth came
about by a slow
process—without
God and purely by
a materialistic
process

creation by the
command of God

Evolution Contradicts The
Bible
• If evolution is
true there was
no first man, no
fall, no sin, no
punishment and
no redemption
• This does away
with God’s plan
to redeem man
by the blood of
Jesus Christ
• 1 Jn. 1:7

Theistic Evolution Is Most
Dangerous
• Evolution does away with the
inspired, infallible, inerrant Word
of God
• Evolution and Creation cannot
be reconciled
• Those who teach evolution are
false teachers and deceivers

Conclusion
• We must stand against the error
of evolution---what ever form it
may be presented in
• 2Jn. 9-11
