In a post-Garden of Eden world, it is difficult to fully comprehend that the environment we now live in is an "all-out struggle." Humankind has become used to post-Fall conditions.

As challenging as it is to render the perfect world of Eden in our minds, it is more difficult to understand God’s love for His fallen image-bearers.

While we can’t characterize Christians who promote old-earth theories as being false converts, their position weakens their testimony to an already cynical secular society. For those who take the minority position, may we stand firm. As Paul states in 1 Corinthians 16:3, “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.”

Beyond the Theistic Evolution Theory, which was covered in my previous blog, many evangelicals engage in other assumptions that are contrary to the word of God and His creation narrative.
