These foolish depraved religious pharisees don't believe all Scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, rebuking, equipping, etc the true Christian (1Tim 3:16). Therefore they DENY the absolute Truth and fact of a literal 7 day creation week and instead, in their unbelief and rebellion against God, hold to evolution as a "tool" to interpret Scripture. That's precisely why they also are ok with feminism, sodomy, racism, marxism, communism, psychology, etc. When you deny the Beginning as literal and you favor the world's philosophy of the Beginning, you WILL end up accepting what follows (and it's ALL rebellion and suppressing the Truth with their unrighteousness). Their "tools" are of the flesh, not the Spirit (2 Cor. 10), are demonic in origin (James 3), and have consequences---wrong interpretation leads to wrong application and division. This IS a worldview, contrary to what Woods said. Their worldview is worldly, fleshly, and rebellious. The true Christian does as Scripture does--interpret Scripture with Scripture. Sound doctrine, Scripture states, leads to sound living. 2Co 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, 2Co 10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 2Co 10:5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, 2Co 10:6 and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.
Scripture rebukes these religious God-haters (who are just like the pharisees)--they follow the world and it's god and sow seeds of division, rebellion, unbelief in Scripture, and unholy living: 1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God, 1Co 2:13 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. 1Co 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. 1Co 2:15 But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no man. 1Co 2:16 For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE SHOULD INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ. Mat 15:7 "You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, Mat 15:8 'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. 9 'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.'" Jas 3:13 Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. Jas 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. Jas 3:15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. Jas 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing. Jas 3:17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.
