But if I have accepted Darwinian evolution as science, then I cannot understand Adam as a type. He is created, not evolved. According to the prevailing orthodoxy, we have to go to an evolutionary typology to understand ourselves. And herein lies a fundamental problem: evolutionary doctrine tells us we are not created in the image and likeness of God; we are the result of random collisions of molecules over time. Nor is rebellion against God our problem. Man’s problems, according to evolutionary theory, stem from the fact that we still operate on instincts that were evolved mechanisms necessary for survival, but no longer function in the same way in advanced civilized society. https://orthodoxreflections.com/evolution-and-the-abolition-of-christian-mankind/
