Darwin's theory of evolution is not consistent with the Christian worldview

The biblical data leaves no option for a Christian to hold to any version or aspect of Darwin’s theory of evolution. A healthy acknowledgement of the many and diverse views on origins in the past and in the 21st Century presents the theistic evolutionist with a problem. Even prior to the biblical data, the current challenges to evolutionary theory present the theistic evolutionist with a problem. The theistic evolutionist faces the issue of integrity when it comes to these problems. Still, for the theistic evolutionist, who insists on keeping their position, the biblical data denies the right to maintain a middle ground between biblical Christianity and the theory of naturalistic evolution. When it comes to naturalism and the Bible, there can be no “theoretical Switzerland.” The biblical data has demonstrated that theistic evolution is an unsatisfactory view of the origin of the universe on at least five important points (mentioned above). Finally, in light of the biblical data, theistic evolution is not a viable framework through which a Christian may view the origin of the universe.
