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]].  
The primary '''arguments against theistic evolution''' are the [[genealogical record]] and the lack of a proper [[exegesis]] that contends with the sound practice of the historical-grammatical.

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.

The [[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.
