Romans 5:12 ... sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned ...
SCIENCE HAS PROVEN EVOLUTION?
Some churches teach that the theory of evolution and the creation account of Genesis can co-exist. But this is false. The theory of evolution and the Biblical account of creation are fundamentally contradictory because they say opposite things. For example, Paul writes:
" ... sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned ..." (Romans 5:12 ESV).
The theory of evolution says that death is a good thing which existed for millions of years before man did. Because death weeded out the less fit to survive, we owe our existence to death. But the Bible says the opposite.
The Bible says mankind existed before death. The Bible says that death is not a good thing, rather, death is the consequence of man's sinful rebellion against God! Forget the chicken or the egg--which came first, death or man?! Evolution says one thing, the Bible another. Is death good or evil?! Evolution says one thing, the Bible another.
When people try to combine evolution with the Genesis account of creation, things get all mixed up. And this is exactly what Satan wants. Here's his attack strategy: First, convince people that scientists have proven evolution is true. That means the Bible's creation account must be a figurative fairytale. Next, either lead people to combine evolutionary ideas with Genesis, or better yet, discard Genesis altogether.
If Satan can get us to discard Genesis, then we've discarded the book that explains where sin, death, and evil came from. If Satan can get us to discard God's Word in Genesis, then we'll have discarded the book that contains God's first promise to send a Savior to take our sins away and restore sinners to a right relationship with God (See Genesis 3:15).
When evolution is accepted, it destroys the need for a Savior and makes God into a liar.
