Opening the Door to Compromise - Abandoning the Text 6. Theistic Evolution Theistic evolution is not new, but until the late twentieth century it was not common among evangelicals. When evolutionary ideas spread in the nineteenth century, a common response from theological liberals was simply to ignore the Genesis text altogether and claim that God created everything through the process of evolution. Evangelicals have long rejected this approach, believing the special creation of Adam is foundational to the gospel. Sadly, a growing number of professed evangelicals no longer think it is important to believe in a historical Adam. Consequently, they have no qualms with joining the liberals in claiming that God used evolution to create life.
