Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today, Mr. Chuck continues with theistic evolution

as we pick up in Genesis chapter 1 verse 2.

And now with today's message, here's pastor Chuck.

There is what is called theistic evolution.

The acknowledging that God began everything,

but then set it free to evolve.

He formed the first protein molecule, but then he let it free to evolve into many forms of life.

Acknowledging God in the beginning, but then it is sort of a God who is removed from his creation

because now the creation develops on its own evolutionary processes with God's hand having been removed.

There is the theory that all of this happened just about between 6 and 10,000 years ago.

And the universe in actuality is not any older than 10,000 years.

That all of the guesstimates of man for the long period of time are just that guesstimates of man, they are without proof,

they are only theories, and that in reality the universe is extremely young universe rather than an old universe as would be supposed.
