Theistic evolution implies is that there are actually twelve details in Genesis 1-3 that simply didn’t happen. If you hold to this doctrine (in the most common form in which it is held today), you would say that these ideas are true.
The Accuracy of Genesis 1-3
Theistic evolution is a viewpoint that God created matter and after that, God didn’t guide, intervene, or act directly to cause any empirically detectable change in the natural behavior of matter until all living things had evolved by purely natural processes.
But, what that belief implies is that there are actually twelve details in Genesis 1-3 that simply didn’t happen. If you hold to theistic evolution (in the most common form in which it is held today), you would say:
- Adam and Eve were not the first human beings, and perhaps Adam and Eve never even existed.
- Adam and Eve were born from human parents.
- God didn’t act directly or specially to create Adam out of dust from the ground.
