If we accept evolution, it means God made a world full of suffering. Yet according to the theory of evolution, there was evil present in nature millions of years before man appeared on the scene - animals preyed upon each other and suffered and died, for instance. Clearly, the two accounts differ - the evolutionary theory must drive us to conclude that God's creation, full of suffering, was far from perfect. Even if the Genesis creation-account is a myth, it still teaches that Gods creation was perfect and that it was spoiled by man. And we cannot reconcile that with the evolutionary notion that the world was made as we know it with suffering and evil in nature right from the very start.
Biblical teaching is that there is a very clear relation between sin and death.
Death, indeed, is the result of sin. In Genesis chapter 2, Adam is told that death will be his punishment if he sins. Human death would not exist if Adam had not sinned. However, according to the evolutionary theory, the first men simply inherited their physical make-up, subject to disease and death, from their animal ancestors. But there is no doubt that it is physical death that is spoken of, in addition to spiritual death.
