See the entire article by Dr. Mohler, here: Creation vs. Evolution: The New Shape of the Debate.
If evolution is true, then the entire narrative of the Bible has to be revised and reinterpreted. The evolutionary account is not only incompatible with any historical affirmation of Genesis – it is also incompatible with the claim that all humanity is descended from Adam and the claim that in Adam all humanity fell into sin and guilt. The Bible’s account of the Fall and its consequences is utterly incompatible with evolutionary theory. The third chapter of Genesis is as problematic for evolutionary theory as the first two.

Al Mohler Sees that One Thing Leads to Another
After reading about the two professors at Calvin College who say we must redefine our doctrine of original sin because of evolutionary theory, I saw an article by Dr. Albert Mohler which confirmed what I wrote. Dr. Mohler writes (emphasis added):

What happens when Elders don't do their job?
Elders: want to know what happens when you fail in your duties to guard the purity of the Church? Want to know what will become of the flock God has entrusted into your care when you don't study the current theological controversies in your denomination; when you think "it's better for my pastor to deal with this"? Then, take a look at Al Mohler's latest blog post titled "Vanishing Christianity -- A Lesson from the Presbyterians."
Mohler makes some sad but accurate points. Based on the latest "Presbyterian Panel" survey (2008), only 36% of PCUSA church members either "disagree" or "strongly disagree" with the statement "only followers of Jesus Christ can be saved." Mohler points out that elders are slightly more "conservative" than other church members, but does it even matter any more?
"Theological compromise appeared first among the pastors, theologians, church executives, and seminary professors," Mohler writes. Elders: are you on Candidates and Credentials committees? Do you take an active role in examining what Pastors and Professors seeking ordination in or transfer into your Presbytery (and denomination) believe? If you don't, you can expect that in less than 100 years, your denomination will look exactly like the PCUSA.
"Make no mistake," Mohler concludes, "in the end, vanishing theological boundaries will amount to vanishing Christianity."
