I have wondered in the past how some people can call themselves Bible believing Christians, who fully accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, and yet believe that God has used evolution to get us to the state of development we are in today. They somehow have to 'fit' man made theories into the biblical narrative.
I was asked the other day by a person in work if I believed the book of Genesis to be a literal history of creation, or a series of allegorical stories! My answer, was that I do believe it to be a literal history of how we humans came into existence. But my belief is more than a basic trust based on nothing, it is a trust in the word of God as spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our Lord Himself believed in the Bible's teaching about the beginning of man. When replying to the Pharisee's question about divorce, our Lord asks them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE,' (Mat 19:4), and if we accept that Moses wrote the first four books of the Old Testament then again how can we reconcile the fact that in Our Lord again said in John, For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. (Joh 5:46).

Our Lord speaks to us as one who clearly accepts the historical accuracy of the Old Testament. If that were not enough evidence of our Lord's views and beliefs on the accuracy of the Old Testament, he also spoke these words to the disciples after his resurrection. "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me." (Luk 24:44).
He was referring to the whole of the Old Testament, Our Lord Jesus Christ accepts it ALL. He says that it all Points forward to Him. Hence, if we indulge in our own particular slant on sections of the Bible, we immediately find ourselves at odds with the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ.
It has to be total belief in Him, in His Holiness, in His Deity. If we accept his Deity then we must accept His word is True. In other words Evolution Theory is a man made LIE.
