What is theistic evolution and how does it relate to Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Theistic evolution proposes that God used evolution to create life, but this view compromises biblical creationism.

Theistic evolution attempts to reconcile belief in God with evolutionary theory, suggesting that God initiated and guided the process of evolution. However, this position is problematic for Christians because it dilutes the biblical account of creation and implies that Scripture's clear declarations about the origins of life are not literal. By accepting theistic evolution, one may inadvertently affirm secular interpretations of science, which dismiss God's miraculous role in creation. This view risks undermining the doctrines of original sin and salvation, which hinge upon a historical Adam and Eve as the first humans created directly by God. Consequently, this compromise leads to a departure from the richness and clarity of the biblical narrative.
