If we are going to do a careful reading of scripture, God made man after His image and likeness. It does not say He ushered in a process that led, ultimately, to a creation that, through said process, resulted in a creature after His image and likeness (What kind of God would do such a thing? Which gives Him the greater glory?) The Pre-Fall notion that God implemented a system of evolutionary forces diminishes God and requires a “reading into” His word things that are not directly suggested by it.
The “Post-Fall” scenario is equally confounding. After God created all things...sin entered the world (through the disobedience of His creatures). This brought into effect the “force” (death) that counters God’s intention for His creation (life.) If the biblical principle of sin and sin’s consequence is true, then how can one conclude that God had put into effect a system that, now tainted by the flaw of sin, would result in an ever-improving, ever-evolving creation that exceeds what He originally brought into existence? Once more, God is diminished.
These things are spiritually discerned, as are all things pertaining to life and godliness, and only by faith can they be understood.
