How is the quest for knowledge about evolution a threat.

Anything that we thirst after that opposes God's Word is a threat to us. It may look good and safe on the outside but it is always wrapped in some form of truth to appear safe and/or entice but underneath is the lie. We end up believing the lie is actually truth because deception has entered in.

God gave you a brain, use it to its fullest. If God didn't want us to learn about evolution, He wouldn't have left so much data and clues.

God gave us a brain and free will. He wanted us to come to Him because we want to - with our free will, we have a choice. Same w/our brain - we can use it for good or otherwise. I use my brain to the fullest for what is pleasing to God (hopefully). God doesn't want us to learn about evolution or anything that goes against His Word - man makes that choice. He wants us to learn about Him and His Word but, again, that's a choice. The road one chooses to follow in life has eternal consequences or rewards.

God knew the theory of evolution would rear it's ugly head. Perhaps, that is why he was so specific and redundant in Genesis were He states,... 'then it was evening, then morning'. Unless one wants to spin that to suit their need - it is quite specific. He completed it all in six days by speaking it into existence. Who is anyone to say He didn't, He couldn't - it must have happened another way. Or He 'started it' and let it evolve on it's own. God is a God of order and completeness.

Lastly, God warned and spoke about deceit over and over again. So it is a real threat to us. With deception comes denial. Therefore, we, also, know we will deny that we are being deceived. I'm sure everyone can all relate to that.

If God didn't want us to learn about evolution, He wouldn't have left so much data and clues.

Likewise...

If God didn't want us to learn about Himself, He wouldn't have sent His Son to show us the Way.

NIV Colossians 1:15-21
15. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
16. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.
17. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
18. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
19. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,
20. and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

NIV Colossians 2:9-10
9. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,
10. and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.
