Is Darwinism compatible with the Christian Faith ?

In his book, The origin of species, Darwins stated that man evolved from a lower species of animal by a process of “natural selection” . This would imply that man was not created by God. The bible on the other hand, informed in Genesis, that God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostril the breath of life and man became a living being”. (Gen. 2:7). The implication of this would be, that man has not experienced the fall and therefore needs no redemption as recorded in Genesis 3. That makes it clear, that Darwin's idea threatened the Christian doctrine of creation, fall and redemption. This statement implies that man is a direct product of an ape which is a lower animal or inferior to man. The implication of the evolution theory is that it calls to question man’s uniqueness and the authority given to him by God (Gen 2:28) How possible would it be for man to have dominion over an animal supposed to be his grandparents? The theory challenges the foundation of Christian or biblical account of man’s unique creation. Man was created in the image and likeness of God (Gen. 1:27). This implies that man was created by God to look like Him. But Darwin’s theory contradicts this biblical age long truth. Man was not created in the image and likeness of an ape, therefore it is not acceptable that he evolved from an ape with which he has no resemblance or similarity. The theory is fatal to human values. If we are descended from apes, then we should still be animals and apes.
The evolution theory has been refuted on scientific grounds and is as such invalid. It is a fantastic hypothesis lacking full factual evidence in any sense. It is an unproven, non-working hypothesis, which has not given any success in demonstrating what it set out to prove, and as such, is as well incompatible with the biblical account in Genesis, and so also incompatible with Christian beliefs. Anyone that tries to harmonize Genesis with evolution, like theistic evolutionists, might overthink their views....
