Meaning: Here God criticizes theistic evolutionist theories not only as it pertains to who Adam and Eve is but also their view on how the biblical story of the creation of the world is compatible with the evolution theory.
As a whole what God is pointing out is that these views use science as the primary source of truth, and tries to explain how biblical stories match these scientific discoveries or how the bible can be interpreted to adhere to these discoveries. When science entered the picture. what they did was reconcile both to come up with what is an acceptable truth to them.
It’s not that the bible is accurate. God has said many times that it is not. However, what is missing in their views is the presence of revelation. All these theories are based on human analysis rather than revelations of God, only through which the truth is known.
Although, it is true that there are many non-genuine claims of God revelations, it should not stop each and every one of us from seeking the truth from God rather than accepting man’s discovery as the source of our beliefs. When in doubt, ask God and until one gets a confirmation from God, whatever theories one may have should be put in the back-burner and not discussed as if they are the gospel truth.
God also pointed out that this does not only apply to theist evolutionists but to many people who like to come up with their own interpretation of stories or verses in the bible.
My request: God, can you please say in your own words what I’m trying to explain about theist evolutionist relying of their own interpretation of scripture, science and their personal analysis and not on revelation?
God’s answer:
They have their own ideas.
