The primary challenge to [[theistic evolution]] is the [[genealogical record]] | The primary challenge to [[theistic evolution]] is the [[genealogical record]] and the point at which [[exegesis]] becomes historical-grammatical or simply a plain reading of scripture. Many theistic evolutionists believe that [[Adam]] was not a real man, yet the Bible clearly treats him as such within the books of Genesis and Chronicles which contain the ancestral record from Adam to [[Noah]]. The book of [[Luke]] repeats this genealogy from Adam to [[Jesus]]. | ||
Those who criticize theistic evolution frequently argue that [[Genesis]] is so inextricably intertwined with Judaeo-Christian-Islamic theism as to be inseparable. While the first chapter of Genesis may be interpreted as allegory; the creationism theme runs throughout the rest of Genesis and into the New Testament. | Those who criticize theistic evolution frequently argue that [[Genesis]] is so inextricably intertwined with Judaeo-Christian-Islamic theism as to be inseparable.

The he [[biblical genealogy]] of Genesis 5 is not allegorical as some proponents of theistic evolution put forth. The allegorical intent of the specific years and dates given for those people, the year at which they had the next son in their line, and the year they died all imply real people born into this world by other real people. Likewise the [[Table of Nations]] and the references to [[Noah]] by [[Jesus]] and [[Peter]] in the New Testament are ways to determine the historical realness of such events and people. | |||
== | ==Yom As a 24 Hour Day== | ||
It is clear in the Genesis writing that it was the separation of light and darkness that created a Yom. The only natural measurement that equals that of the day/night cycle in Genesis is determined by the earth's rotation speed. So for a Yom to mean a million years would mean that the change from light to darkness would take that long. We now this not to be the case as scientific observation can conclude. | |||
If in fact a million years equalled one day it would mean the earth's rotation would have been to slow to support life. Earth or any planet that rotates that slow would have burned up on one side, and frozen on the other. Furtheremore, years are actually established without having to use the theistic evolution interpretation in Genesis 1:14. | |||

So Days were created before years. Besides, you have to have days before you can get years. So the order of the creation of time is correct. Because if years were created before days, then you could not answer how many days it takes to make a year. | So Days were created before years.

If every thing in the creation evolved, at what point in the evolution process of man does man recieve a soul that can be saved? | If every thing in the creation evolved, at what point in the evolution process of man does man recieve a soul that can be saved? | ||
