Evolution is not theology. Its science.

"If evolution is true, then death preceded sin "

???????

"One's view of God is distorted when viewed through evolutionary glasses."

Hardly. God made the rules and Evolutionary rules like chemical and physical rules are the product of God.

"The concept of billions of years of evolutionary meandering and extinction is inconsistent with God's omnipotence, omniscience, purposiveness, loving nature, and even His grace"

This doesn't make sense. #1 the billions of years of evolutionary meandering and extinction DID occur - its a fact. The fact that it occurred has nothing to do with those items Dr. Morris, whoever he is, enumerated concerning God.

Genesis 2

4 These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 5 when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up--for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to till the ground; 6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground-- 7 then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

Help me out here, Zulu. Is this God's idea of a trick? Do you believe that God would inspire the very first book of the Bible to be one of fairy tales or confusion?

Come on now. Is that sound Christian understanding?
