Can you please cite me the chapter and verse where Our Lord says that rejecting evolution is a requirement for spiritual rebirth?


John 17:24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world."

Then:
Gen. 1:1 In the beginning God created....

Because God The Father and God The Son were here BEFORE the creation of the world, I see no wiggle room for
"little wiggly things" on their own for no apparent rhyme or reason to have been the beginning of life forms.
Rejection of evolution is not a requirement for salvation
but salvation is a rejection of evolution.

Because God The Father and God The Son were here BEFORE the creation of the world, I see no wiggle room for "little wiggly things" on their own for no apparent rhyme or reason to have been the beginning of life forms.

I'm sorry, but I don't see how your conclusion follows from your premises. Yes, God created the world, and He was here, but what does this have to do with the question of how life changed over time?
