God Did Not Use Evolution to Create Life
The Bible makes it clear from the very first pages: God created life by His word, not by a long, uncertain process. Genesis 1 doesn't describe a gradual unfolding of life through natural laws—it describes God speaking, and creation obeying. That is not compatible with evolutionary theory, whether dressed up in science or Mormon scripture.
The LDS claim that “the Gods” organized life over time undermines both the authority of Scripture and the nature of God Himself. There is one God—not many—and He did not need evolution to form the world. He created instantly, fully, and purposefully. The Bible says, “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made… For He spoke, and it came to be” (Psalm 33:6, 9).
God did not evolve man from lesser creatures. He formed man from the dust and breathed life into him. Humans are not upgraded animals—we are the image-bearers of God. That’s not an interpretation. It’s what the Bible plainly says. To argue that “we don’t know” how man was made, or that it could be symbolic, is to ignore God’s own words.
Evolution teaches that death brought forth man. But the gospel teaches the opposite: that man’s sin brought forth death. If death existed before sin, then the cross of Christ becomes pointless. That’s not just a theological detail—it’s the heart of the gospel.
Mormon doctrine, with its references to a council of gods and the possibility of evolving human bodies, doesn’t just reinterpret Scripture—it rewrites it. The book of Abraham is not the word of God. It is a false revelation from a false prophet. God is not one of many gods. He is the only God—eternal, holy, sovereign.
Faithful Christians must reject any attempt to blend God’s truth with worldly philosophies. Science changes. God’s word does not. You cannot serve both. Either you believe God created man in His image, as He said—or you believe man is a product of time, chance, and mutation. But you cannot believe both.
Stand firm. Stand on the Word. God is not vague. He has spoken.
