The danger

There are dangerous aspects for the Christian to accept theistic evolution.

Misrepresentation of the nature of God
 In the book of Genesis chapter one. God called his creation good. This is inconsistent with an old earth full of death, decay and destruction. We need think on this: how good is God's perfection if he declare death and decay is good.

   

Genesis 1:31

 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

In the book of Deuteronomy declares God's work are perfect.

 

Deuteronomy 32:4

 He is the Rock, his works are perfect,
    and all his ways are just.
A faithful God who does no wrong,
    upright and just is he.

 

Psalm 19:1 declares that the heavens display the glory of God. If the stars evolved, then they do not show His glory, but long periods of natural process (Macro-evolution). 


Psalm 19:1


The heavens declare the glory of God;
    the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

What does the Heavens say?

Many people believe the universe is billion years old and the that the stars must have evolved. Before we accept stellar evolution, we need to examine three things.

1) No one has seen a star evolve. We observe the remnants of a star explosion, but not one forming.
2) We have only a mathematical model for how a star would form. The laws of physics demonstrate that a lard gas and dust cloud combination will expand and not condense.
3) God state that the heavens declare His glory.

If God did not create all the stars on day four in the book of Genesis chapter one verse sixteen, then what do the heavens declare? If the stars evolved over long periods of time what do the the following verses significance?

Psalm 19:1

 The heavens declare the glory of God;
    the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

 

Isaiah 40:26

 Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:
    Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one
    and calls forth each of them by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
    not one of them is missing.

 

Is it possible to what Jesus said, he was the Creator. Jesus believed what Moses wrote were true historical events.
