The booklet "Evolution Versus the Bible" explores the conflict between the scientific theory of human evolution and the biblical account of creation, particularly as presented in the Book of Genesis. It opens with a letter from a young man expressing confusion after encountering evolutionary teachings in college that challenge the biblical story he learned in Sunday School. This sets the stage for a deeper discussion on two central issues: (1) whether human evolution is a valid explanation for human origins, and (2) whether belief in evolution is compatible with faith in the Bible.

The author begins by questioning the scientific foundation of evolution, pointing out that even some scientists admit the theory remains unproven. Notably, Charles Darwin, the father of evolutionary theory, acknowledged the lack of evidence for one species transforming into another. The booklet emphasizes the Bible’s claim of the “fixity of species”—that all living things reproduce “after their kind,” a concept the author believes aligns more closely with observable nature than the theory of evolution.

Several common arguments for evolution are then critiqued. For example, the idea that fish evolved into birds is challenged by asking why such evolutionary transitions are no longer occurring today. The absence of transitional forms, often referred to as “missing links,” is also cited as a major weakness in evolutionary claims. If such creatures once existed, the booklet argues, we should find numerous examples, but we don’t.

The booklet also challenges the assumption that human intelligence has evolved over time. Instead, it asserts that ancient civilizations demonstrated immense intelligence, creativity, and ingenuity—as evidenced by the Great Pyramid, Babylonian gardens, and classical art and music. Modern advances in science and technology are credited not to increased human intellect but to divine prophecy and design, specifically referencing the Book of Daniel, which foretells an increase in knowledge in the “last days.”

The text then turns to the biblical account of creation, pointing out that the Genesis narrative presents man as a direct creation of God, made in His image, and not as a product of random evolutionary processes. This, according to the author, explains man's capacity for moral reasoning, creativity, and self-awareness—traits not found in animals and unexplained by evolution.

Moving to the New Testament, the author stresses that belief in evolution is incompatible with Christianity. The Apostle Paul refers to Adam as the first man and bases Christian doctrine, including the need for redemption and resurrection, on Adam’s fall. If Adam were not a historical figure, then doctrines such as original sin and the atoning death of Christ lose their meaning. Luke’s genealogy of Jesus traces his lineage back to Adam, calling him the “son of God”—a reference that evolution would render meaningless.

The booklet concludes that accepting evolution undermines the entire foundation of biblical Christianity. If man is not fallen, then he does not need redemption, and Christ’s sacrificial death is unnecessary. This view is contrasted with the consistent biblical message: that mankind is a fallen race in need of salvation and that resurrection and eternal life are offered through Jesus Christ.

In support of this, the author cites multiple scriptures—from Job, Psalms, Isaiah, and the Gospels—that reinforce the biblical narrative of man's creation, fall, and promised restoration. The resurrection is portrayed not as myth, but as a future, literal event tied to God's plan for restoring fallen humanity.

Finally, the booklet includes statements from various respected scientists who either question or reject evolutionary theory. These include well-known figures like Prof. Virchow, Sir William Dawson, and Prof. Louis Trenchard More, who assert that the fossil record and other scientific evidence do not support the evolutionary model. The author uses these voices to validate the stance that one can believe in science without embracing evolution, and that doing so leaves room for faith in the Bible’s account of creation and redemption.
