Yes — from the biblical perspective, evolution is a problem because it rejects the Creator, removes God from human thinking, and makes human wisdom foolish in God's sight.
The Bible says those who knew God but did not glorify or thank Him became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools. Les Feldick applies this to evolutionary teaching, which he calls a theory and a lie that causes people to put God out of their thinking.
Romans 1:21-22 — This passage directly describes what happens when people replace God with human reasoning: vain imaginations, darkened hearts, and professed wisdom that becomes foolishness.
1 Corinthians 1:19-21 — This passage shows God's verdict on philosophies that leave Him out: the world by wisdom knew not God, and God has made that wisdom foolish.
Romans 1:21-22 describes the root problem behind evolutionary thinking: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. This shows that human reasoning that refuses to honor God is not genuine wisdom but darkened foolishness. First Corinthians 1:19-21 gives God's verdict on the world's wisdom: For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. A worldview built on human wisdom cannot know God, so God calls it foolishness.
Les Feldick treats evolution as a lie and a theory rather than proven fact. He says students are told that evolution is the only thing that makes sense, but professors do not tell them it is simply an idea. He connects evolution and secular humanism to Romans 1: people choose to put God out of their thinking, think only in the realm of the human, and their foolish heart is darkened. Les quotes 1 Corinthians 1:19-21 to show that the world by wisdom did not know God. He applies this to brilliant intellectuals who reject what God has said and then act and respond as fools. He also says society is in its present condition because God has been pushed out of thinking, schools, and homes. When asked what takes more faith, Les says believing a figment of somebody's imagination takes far more faith than believing the true Bible record. He also argues that geology does not prove evolution, because oil would be in the same strata whether it was laid down by Noah's flood or by evolution.
Paul writes that when people knew God but refused to glorify or thank Him, they became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened. They professed themselves to be wise but became fools. Les applies this directly to intellectuals, including those who accept evolution, who reject what God has said and then act foolishly. He says that choosing to think only in the human realm, which he calls secular humanism, is what darkens the foolish heart.
Les says evolution is simply an idea and a theory, but evolutionists treat it as everything. He notes that professors tell children evolution is the only thing that makes sense, without telling them it is merely a theory. Some states have tried to require creationism to be taught alongside evolution, but Les says those promoting evolution will not allow it because it would make a fallacy of everything they are telling children.
Les asks, What takes more faith? To believe something that is a figment of somebody's imagination, or to believe the true record? He answers that it takes a lot more faith to believe evolution than to believe the Bible record. He also points out that an oil geologist's facts about strata do not change whether the strata were laid down by Noah's flood or by evolution, so geology does not prove evolution.
Les says society today is in the shape it is in because people have pushed God out of their thinking, out of schools, and out of the home. When a person chooses to put God out of his thinking and to think only in the realm of the human, that is secular humanism, and Paul says the foolish heart is darkened. For Les, evolution is one expression of this broader choice to leave God out.
Paul's Description of Vain Reasoning
Les teaches that when people refuse to honor God, their imaginations become vain and their foolish hearts are darkened. This is the biblical explanation for philosophies that leave God out.
The Theory Behind Evolution
Les says evolution is a lie and a theory, yet students are told by geology professors that it is the only thing that makes sense. Professors do not tell them it is just an idea.
Intellectual Fools
Les applies Romans 1:22 to brilliant intellectuals who reject God's Word. Though they think themselves wise, they act and respond as fools.
Future Generations Without God
Les worries that the younger generation has no concept of God or eternity and lives for the here and now, which shows the result of keeping God out of life.
Faith Needed for Evolution
Les argues evolution is a figment of somebody's imagination and takes more faith than the Bible record. He also says creationism is not welcome in classrooms because it would expose the fallacy of evolution.
God Makes Foolish the World's Wisdom
Les quotes 1 Corinthians 1:19-21 to show that the world did not know God by its own wisdom, and that God destroys the wisdom of the wise.
Pushing God Out of Society
Les says God has been pushed out of thinking, schools, and homes, and that is why society is in its present condition.
Secular Humanism and a Darkened Heart
Les says choosing to put God out of thinking and thinking only in the human realm is secular humanism, and the result is a darkened foolish heart.
Romans 1:21: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
This verse explains what happens when people suppress God's truth and begin to rely on their own ideas.
Romans 1:22: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
This verse shows that those who claim wisdom while rejecting God are actually fools in God's sight.
1 Corinthians 1:19: For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
This verse declares God's judgment on human wisdom that leaves Him out.
1 Corinthians 1:20: Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
This verse asks where those who rely on worldly wisdom stand, since God has made that wisdom foolish.
1 Corinthians 1:21: For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
This verse shows that human wisdom cannot reach God; salvation comes through the message of the cross.
The biblical problem is that evolution leaves God out of His creation. Romans 1 says people who refuse to honor God become vain in their imaginations and are darkened in their foolish hearts, so their worldviews are foolish rather than wise.
Les says evolution is simply an idea or theory, but it is presented to students as the only thing that makes sense. He calls it a figment of somebody's imagination compared to the true record of Scripture.
Les describes the controversy by noting that some states have tried to require creationism to be taught if evolution is taught, but evolutionists will not have it because it would make a fallacy of everything they are telling children.
Les used 1 Corinthians 1:19-21, where Paul says the world by wisdom knew not God and that God has made foolish the wisdom of this world.
