We fully agree with Alexey that “evolution is one of the most dangerous concepts that faces the Orthodox Christian today”— perhaps it is the very key (intellectual) to the assault upon the Church, to the very “philosophy” (and there is such a thing!) of the coming Antichrist. If we understand [Father Neketas] and Father Ephraim aright, you regard it as merely an “idea” which one can take or leave, and which can involve one in endless modernist-fundamentalist discussions which are totally pointless (how many “hours” in the first “seven days”? etc.). We certainly agree on the pointlessness of such discussions, but now the issue is much deeper than that; “evolution” is a whole mind-set that is quite incompatible with Orthodoxy.

-Fr. Seraphim Rose, letter dated April 5/18, 1973

Icon: the scroll reads in Romanian: “Evolutionism is the key to the philosophy of Antichrist”

Creation of the Sun on the 4th Day

"Before the light of the sun shall appear, let the green herb be born, let its light be prior to that of the sun. Let the earth germinate before its receives the fostering care of the sun, lest there be an occasion for human error to grow. Let everyone be informed that the sun is not the author of vegetation... The sun is younger than the green shoot, younger than the green plant!"

— St. Ambrose of Milan (+397)
