The Sound Doctrine of Creation

Pro 8:5  "O naive ones, discern prudence; And, O fools, discern wisdom.
Pro 8:6  "Listen, for I shall speak noble things; And the opening of my lips will produce right things.
Pro 8:7  "For my mouth will utter truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
Pro 8:8  "All the utterances of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing crooked or perverted in them. 
Pro 8:9  "They are all straightforward to him who understands, And right to those who find knowledge.

Pro 8:12  "I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, And I find knowledge and discretion.
Pro 8:13  "The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way, And the perverted mouth, I hate.
Pro 8:14  "Counsel is mine and sound wisdom; I am understanding, power is mine.
Pro 8:15  "By me kings reign, And rulers decree justice.
Pro 8:16  "By me princes rule, and nobles, All who judge rightly.

Pro 8:22  "The LORD possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old.
Pro 8:23  "From everlasting I was established, From the beginning, from the earliest times of the earth. 
Pro 8:24  "When there were no depths I was brought forth, When there were no springs abounding with water.
Pro 8:25  "Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills I was brought forth;
Pro 8:26  While He had not yet made the earth and the fields, Nor the first dust of the world.
Pro 8:27  "When He established the heavens, I was there, When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,
Pro 8:28  When He made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became fixed,
Pro 8:29  When He set for the sea its boundary, So that the water should not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth;
Pro 8:30  Then I was beside Him, as a master workman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him,

The sound doctrine of Creation is bound to Yahweh's eternal attributes of:
wisdom, power, eternality, righteousness, truth, prudence, hatred of evil, pride, and perverted mouths.

The doctrine is also bound to wisdom:

it is straight forward, totally true, without crookedness or perversion, it dwells with prudence, hates evil, pride, and a perverted mouth (perverted means crooked--that which is astray from Truth, that which mixes truth with error, not necessarily a cussing, foul mouth); fears Yahweh, bears and yields good, choice fruit that lasts, walks in the way of righteousness.

Psa 1:1  How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! 
Psa 1:2  But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.
Psa 1:3  And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.
Psa 1:4  The wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
Psa 1:5  Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
Psa 1:6  For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish.

1Jn 2:21  I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth. 

The world's wisdom is foolish, ignorant, and dark. It argues against God and His Word (Gen. 3:1-3). James 3 says it is earthly and demonic in nature and it's fruit is heinous:

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.
Jas 3:18  And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

This shows that those who buy into the world's philosophies of evolution and psychology don't have wisdom nor understanding. They are then incapable of dispensing true wisdom that is healthy for the inner man. Rather their demonic philosophies promote sin and destruction.
