I once tried to believe in evolution and the Bible; I was a theistic evolutionist. However, deep down, theistic evolution (TE) unsettled me. I tried not to think about it because I think I knew it would be problematic. Philip Bell’s Evolution & the Christian Faith delves into all the reasons that TE should trouble any Christian who genuinely follows Christ as Lord and Saviour (as I did, even while accepting TE). Philip covers even more reasons for why I ended up rejecting TE and returning to the authority of God’s Word. I went from being ‘over’ the Word to being ‘under’ it. That is, with TE I was working at making God’s Holy Word fit my evolutionary thinking, whereas we are called to obey, not overturn its clear teaching. When I was ‘over’ the Word, I readily trotted out evangelical affirmations of the authority and even infallibility of the Bible, but in reality I did not actually believe it. When I jettisoned TE, it was like being born again, again, such was the transformation in my walk with Christ. Philip’s book explains why TE is so devastating to our Christian faith; it undermines everything; if you think about it! Evolution & the Christian Faith will help you think about it. I don’t think that anyone who accepts TE could read this book with an open heart before God and not be convicted by the biblical arguments. I would plead with anyone in this position to please read this book, prayerfully and carefully, and be ready to repent of this destructive view.

My sincere prayer is that God might use the book to overturn the compromised thinking of fellow believers and liberate them to a firmer stand upon His holy and infallible Word—and thus to more fully love Him with the whole heart and mind. Blessings, Don Batten

Thanks Don!

  1. In my opinion, the death knell for theistic evolution is that Genesis clearly explains that each person is part of Creator God’s ultimate creation….uniquely made in His image; each one with a purpose and destiny to fulfil through Jesus Christ. Pascal said,”There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of each man which cannot be satisfied by any created thing but only by God the Creator, made known through Jesus Christ.”
    If we are part of an evolutionary process, even if God-designed…where does the Fall occur in this scenario….and what is the point of Jesus’ coming to die for our disobedience and rebellion (sin)? If we are “evolving”, what’s the point of Jesus saying on the Cross, “It is finished”?
