A third view, supported by Dr. Charles Ryrie, is that it really does not matter which view of the two views
you chose to believe. Both views reflect truth about man’s nature. We are at least material and
immaterial. Our immaterial includes features such as soul, spirit, heart, conscience and will. In some
cases these features are perhaps truly distinguishable (soul and spirit) while other times the features
47
overlap (spirit, heart, conscience).

Creation vs. Evolution: Is Genesis Relevant?

12.4 Let’s Practice…

1. What is the name of the man who promoted a theory that life was created over millions of
years by gradual changes and lots of death?

2. What is the major problem between what evolutionists believe and what the Bible clearly
states?

3. How long did it take for God to create the universe and all life?
Prove your answer with Scripture:

4. What was the general effect of the flood on the earth’s geology?

5. How extensive was the flood?

47 See Charles Ryrie, Survey of Bible Doctrine pp.104-107 for more discussion of this third view.
