This is a reading of an article by Paul Bartz, by permission.
Martin Luther scorned theistic evolution, which was known among the educated of his day.
Luther’s words rejecting chance and mechanistically guided processes to explain man are as specific and clear as if he had read Darwin. In his comments on Genesis 1:6 he states, ‘Here we are taught about the beginning of man, that the first man did not come into existence by a process of generation as reason had deceived Aristotle and the philosophers into imagining.’
Luther stressed that the Word was God’s instrument of creation, the very same Word which became flesh to win our salvation. On this basis, for Luther, the teaching about the ‘how’ of creation is also part of the Scriptural revelation of Christ. He saw toying with creation as toying with Scripture’s revelation about Christ.
