What's wrong with theistic-evolution?

What we need is a simple, clear statement that goes to the heart of the question.

Here it is:

Theistic evolution merges the creator with the creation to the point of indistinguishability.

The creator is taken into the creation and rather then 'theise' the creation, is engulfed and depersonalised by evolution. He becomes invisible and subject to nature, tinkering with it, not defining it.

It represents a direct contradiction of all that Genesis 1 stands for:

  • creator emphatically distinguished from creation
  • creator creates thoughtfully and in order
  • creator completes the creation as a functioning thing.

It also represents a direct contradiction for what Genesis 3:8 teaches:

  • creator seeks fellowship with his creation as a person to other persons.
