This is a reading of an article by Paul Bartz, by permission.----Martin Luther scorned theistic evolution, which was known among the educated of his day.----Luther-s words rejecting chance and mechanistically guided processes to explain man are as specific and clear as if he had read Darwin. In his comments on Genesis 1-6 he states, -Here we are taught about the beginning of man, that the first man did not come into existence by a process of generation as reason had deceived Aristotle and the philosophers into imagining.-----Luther stressed that the Word was God-s instrument of creation, the very same Word which became flesh to win our salvation. On this basis, for Luther, the teaching about the -how- of creation is also part of the Scriptural revelation of Christ. He saw toying with creation as toying with Scripture-s revelation about Christ.----Creation Ministries International--http---creation.com-----Creation Multimedia--http---creation.com-media-center----Creation Magazine--http---creation.com-creation-magazine----Creation for Kids--http---creation.com-creation-for-kids----SWRB Puritan Hard Drive Sale--http---ow.ly-fPY4o
