John F. MacArthur
For MacArthur, the debate over origins is not mainly scientific but a test of whether Genesis will be treated as authoritative history or reinterpreted to fit evolutionary theory.
Naturalistic evolution is presented not as a neutral account of origins but as a worldview that replaces purposeful creation with unguided chance.
Harmonizing Genesis with old-earth theories or figurative readings is portrayed as compromising the plain meaning and authority of Scripture.
Genesis is treated as a literal, six-day creation account that establishes the basic timeline and order of the created world.
