"Evolution is not a system. It's just a theory, with lots of supporting evidence, about how life diversifies and adapts. That's it. It's not a worldview. It's not a religion. It's not a philosophy."

These statements are just plain wrong. Esp the philosophy part...

Evolution fully adopted ensures that the vast majority of people will find Genesis rejectable on a rational level. There is no 'man' that God created. Thus, sin as a concept is rejectable. That is known as a premier attribute of secular humanistic worldview ... and it is a direct attack on the foundations of the institution of marriage.

One doesn't need the TOE to reject Genesis on a rational level. One just needs to be rational.

I don't see how. A strictly literalist interpretation, sure, but the vast majority of Christians had already rejected such an interpretation long before Darwin's time.

There is no 'man' that God created.

Why not? It is perfectly reasonable to believe that man exists, and that God created him through the process of evolution.

Thus, sin as a concept is rejectable.

Why?
