The False “Religion” of Evolution
I have to tell you that this sign from Pastor Thomas Michael has me really confused. If you are an evolutionist, I suppose it’s pretty easy to be offended at having evolution called a religion and blamed for sin. But if you are religious, I would think you would also have to be offended because it seems to me that the Bible is pretty clear about the origins of sin.
I have been debating about what to write about this sign for a week now and have finally decided to just post it without a lot of commentary. I think I understand that Dr. Michael is trying to say that believing in evolution means that you have strayed from God’s moral compass. But I find that a very subtle and confusing point because:
-
The Bible tells the story of Adam and Eve and that story is the basis for original sin and mortality
-
If Dr. Michael ascribes sin to evolution, doesn’t that pose a challenge to a crucial concept of the Bible?

I think Dr. Michael confuses the boundaries of evolution and the concept of the Bible. I think this organization is not stipulated by the understanding of origin and defined borders and notions of sin.
