Ok, I'll stop screwing around and explain how I think evolution can very, VERY easily become a salvation issue. Evolution, whether it is theistic or secular requires chance mutation, natural selection, death, and very long time periods. Nevermind the fact that this undermines the gospel at a fundamental level as it claims that there was death before sin entered the world. There is another crucial issue that is mostly overlooked. To start with, Evolution reduces God to that of the gaps, where his involvement in the existence of life is only allowed when it cannot be explained by purely naturalistic means. Its akin to mixing the right ingredients in the right formula and expecting it to evolve into a cake, the only difference is that God is the mixer. He took the right chemicals into the right sequence and formed a single celled organism.
This organism evolves into a multi-celled organism which evolves into marine life. After millions of years of mutation, death, selection, etc, we finally get to the apeman, which God gives a living soul. Now, how many people realize that this makes evolution a works based belief even with God in the picture? This is theistic evolution in a nutshell. What evolution does is it takes the glory away from the creator and places it on the creation. This is a big no no in scripture for a reason. You see, according to evolution the creator didn't do all the work. He didn't do much at all in fact. The creator is not the prime mover, the prime cause of all life, the creation itself is. So since God cannot really claim to be the creator as the creation did half or most of the work, then he can't really claim to reconcile to himself that which he did not create, which henceforth means no redemption. With evolution, it is up to the creature to "evolve" and redeem itself, to make itself a "new creature". I believe this will be a crucial foundation of that "other gospel" that will be preached by "the beast" of Revelation. The idea is that man will conquer nature, will conquer death, and will themselves become gods. This will take us full circle back to the same lie that started it all in Eden and we already see this garbage, this steaming pile of kangaroo feces being promoted by transhumanists the world over.
