Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his love,

let him fill your heart and will satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

home.

Welcome to the word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calbury 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, Pastor Chuck continues with Theistic

Evolutionists as we pick up in Joshua chapter 10 verse 43 and now with

today's message here's pastor Chuck.

Now there is a song later in the book of judges that speaks of God using the stars and so forth in fighting for his people.

There are those who call themselves theistic evolutionist. They acknowledge God in the origins, God in an ambiguous kind of a terminology, a force of power,

there was something that started the whole thing going. But once God

started the whole process, once he created the universe, then he more or less stepped back.

He may have created the first cell,

but he stepped back and let all things sort of develop and evolve as far as life forms and all. It's known as

theistic evolution. It was an attempt to harmonize evolutionary thought with the Bible,

though it surely doesn't bring any real harmony with the Bible, it creates more problems than it answers.

Those who teach theistic evolution are more or less those who believe in the uniformitarianism concept

of our universe and of the planet Earth.
