If Evolution is True, the New Heavens & Earth Will be Awful!

The Bible speaks of a New Heavens and Earth. But what will it be like? Will it be some sort of ethereal, spirit-like existence? Or will it be physical?

And how do a person’s beliefs about Genesis and origins—for example, belief in evolution and long ages—impact their beliefs about the coming New Creation?

Join Gary Bates for a fascinating—and Gospel-centered—discussion of the New Heavens and Earth. Gary compellingly argues that physical resurrection is not only a basic Gospel truth, but that a physical New Creation is the only kind that could suitably restore what was physically lost in the original Creation due to the Fall. He also shows how belief in millions of years of evolution, death, and suffering before Adam sinned is both unnecessary, and ultimately incompatible with the Bible’s big picture of Creation → Fall → Restoration.
