The Root of Evolutionary Theory - Lewis Sperry Chafer

0
"The unsaved cannot take God and His revelation into their thoughts. He certainly is not in all their thoughts (Ps. 10:4). The divine seeming so unreal to them, the concept of deity has not provided a reasonable enough basis for their minds when it is declared that God did anything. Therefore, being unable to believe that Genesis account of creation and not having any ability to believe that there is a God who created all things, they have devised the best theory that they can, but still with great inconsistency.

As avowedly scientific men, they must refuse to accept anything which is unproved; yet in this theory of evolution they accept every word of testimony regardless of a lack of proof...

...No Spirit-taught person will have trouble with the Genesis account of creation. Having nothing to put in its place, however the evolutionist must devise the best theory that he can with wich to satisfy the mind on the vexing problem of origins."
