You are in error about original sin. I agree we are in spiritual warfare between two natures. However we are doomed without outside help. Nothing God does is vague. It is all very specific. Jesus is not a magic wand. He came to fulfill law, and execute a new covenant with man.

The Bible makes no mistake in mentioning original sin. To deny that central tenet is to deny most of the Bible, and all most all of Paul's writings. He could only take away sin from us ALL, (as one man himself), if that sin came into ALL of humanity through one man. The account of Genesis stands as is. There cannot be common descent from another species, we must all have only a common parent!

I am not a young earth believer. I do believe the Gap between Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2. Unless I can be dissuaded about original sin I will view evolutionary teaching as a direct attack upon the central tenet of original sin.

I really personally could care less if God did things by evolution, or fiat. But the revelation of original sin, the teachings of the Bible, and my own experience and observation, and the writings of hundreds of Christian scholars persuade me that this is correct.

Evolution, (as taught now) is in contradiction to original sin, and is my basis to oppose this theory vehemently, until either it, or Christianity is vanquished! You are fighting the wrong battle on the wrong side.

I have not even touched upon the utter disaster evolutionary theory has wrecked upon humanity from a sociological viewpoint. It turns loose a nihilism upon man we cannot afford. For that reason alone it should be rejected.

I think you misunderstood just about everything I said and I am feeling too bad right now to go into detail. Besides, from past experience, it would be a waste of time.

As to the sociological dangers of evolution, that is the same misinterpretation of science that literalism is of the Bible.
