St. Ephrem: Cut Yourself Off From Evil Things

“Orthodox” Patriarch Accepts Evolution

Dear Brothers:

Earlier this week Patriarch Kirill of the largest "Orthodox" church announced his acceptance of "theistic evolution." Wolfgang Smith, professor of mathematics at MIT and UCLA wrote a book utterly demolishing the possibility that evolution could be reconciled with theology: Theistic Evolution: Teilhardism and the New Religion. So much for "Orthodoxy" preserving the purity of the Faith.

Even without the detailed and exhaustive treatment of this book the foolishness of that position should be obvious. Evolutionary theory relies on the belief that evolution occurs as one generation replaces the previous one. Evolutionists claim that these successive generations occur over many millions (most now say billions) of years. But death came into the world with the sin of Adam. With no death possible before that time, how could there have been the successive generations needed by that theory?
