When theistic evolutionists claim that while man's body evolved from the slime and eventually from the apes, man's mind was given to him directly by god, they're engaging in a form of dualism. They've created a split between the mind and body; they've made man not one but two; and two parts which have a radically different origin. (This is like saying one Person in the Trinity evolved from the slime, while the other two Persons didn't; or that they each had radically different origins, or came into being at radically different times.)
- Taking the Trinity seriously discourages the compromising speculation of the theistic evolutionists. (So called theistic evolution is neither biblical or 'scientific' (i.e. naturalistic) but simply Humanism.)
- The persons of the Trinity are in perfect harmony. Since man was made in the image of god; this leads me to think Adam was a harmonious whole, not some disparate mixture of animal and spirit. (With a brain cobbled together out of disparate parts; with a lizard brain, a lemur brain, and so on.) Man was created an embodied soul; he was created by God in complete form, not some ape like figure who got 'zapped'.
- Having adopted a faulty model of man, the theistic evolutionist goes on to adopt faulty models of psychology, sociology, theology and so on. He sees man as laboring under this primitive heritage; sees human problems as having their source in this primitive ancestry. This is radically unbiblical. Man's problem isn't that he has a conflict between his animal heritage and his spiritual endowment; but that he desires to rebel against God by committing sin.
Notes;
1. An excellent book on the Trinity is 'Trinity and Reality' by Ralph Allan Smith. (The whole book is posted online at books. google.com)
