I have been thinking about this and realized that evolution undermines God’s plan of salvation.
There is nothing about evolution that says after man comes around evolution must stop, rather man must keep evolving as should everything else. At this point Jesus taking on human nature simply took on a stage of human evolution not a single once and for all defined human nature. Working both back in time and in to the future evolution means man isnt unique because at each extreme only semi-humans exist, for example where was the line drawn between monkey and man, and at what point was that individual created in God’s image? Monkeys are not created in God’s image, only full humans are. It also undermines the fact Adam was a unique individual but rather now he is simply the first of the monkey men with future men (and somehow women) evolving around him.
As for the future, what happens when man evolves into something else? They are no longer created in God’s image nor are they under the salvation plan.
Man, the decendant of Adam and Eve, never evolved from any other “thing” (lifeform) because man is not a particular-temporal lifeform. Just as all things in the universe, man is a “standing wave” in his physicality, but an immortality in his true existence.
Man has had various forms, all “cosmetic” and none changing our basic “man-ness”, but a pre-human proto-hominid was not “a man”, and man will never evolve into any form in which his “man-ness” will be destroyed.
The universe was created FOR man, and to have a universe with no MAN in it makes the universe unecessary. And, since we have been told that mankind WILL be “heaven-ized” (saved and resurrected), the “new heavens and new earth” will replace and destroy (obliterate) our current universe, but that “obliteration” of the old earth MIGHT be simply an “empty” universe spinning along with it’s present “physical laws” kept in “God’s back pocket” with no interaction with where resurrected man is the occupant.
In any case, lifeforms changing over time does NOT undermine salvation, because we know that lifeforms do change (dog breeding illustrates that quite well) and that “change” is CORRECTLY and SCIENTIFICALLY called “evolution”.
That some people choose to misuse the word “evolution” an make a religion of it doesn’t mean that true evolution isn’t evolution in reality.
The physical laws of this present universe have no bearing on man qua man, and no bearing on the pre-fall “time” or the post-fall “time”. Our “standing wave” will be “repopulated”, as it was at the fall, with some substance other than it had previously, at the resurrection, but man has always been and will always be man.
We’ll win because we’re better suited to survival. Evolution has guided us well.
