Here are some of the devil's ideas from which we are protected if we put on the whole armor of God

So called Theistic Evolutionism - the idea that God created us by using death to modify us - killing off the mutants like Neandrathal to eventually get to we Homosapiens - this whole idea that death came before human beings existed is contrary to the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Scripture and mocks the notion that death is a consequence of sin, not a tool God used to create us over millions of years - If there would be a god who used 'survival of the fittest' and death to eliminate our inferior ancestors then that god is surely not the God who teaches us in Scripture that we die because we are descendants of our rebellious first parents who failed to pass down to us their perfect righteousness that would have spared us death.  The Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, protects us from this idea:

Let us consider death in God's original plan. The passages most often referred to on this topic, Romans 5:12-21 and I Corinthians 15:20-26, clearly illustrate the fact that our death resulted from Adam's sin. Yet the Bible has more to say which helps us bring this issue into focus.

The wording of Genesis 2:17 is very clear—"but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." What did God mean by "die?" If we examine the events of the fall, we will find that Adam did not physically die when he first ate the fruit, tempting many to say that Adam fell only in a spiritual sense. But we must note two things that. differentiate Adam from ourselves. First, Adam was created perfect and sinless. Second., because he was created sinless, he was not originally condemned to physical death. When Adam ate from that tree, he truly died, just as God promised he would. He died spiritually at that moment, but he was also cursed with the ultimate reality of physical death. Physical death is the result of spiritual death, so that 930 years later, Adam's body finally caught up to his spirit.

Adam's sin had a tremendous effect on the entire world. We can see this clearly stated in Genesis 3:17,18 and Romans 8:19-21. The Genesis passage states that all creation was cursed by God for man's sake. It seems that God wanted to give the human race an object lesson. The lesson, it would appear, is to make the outer world of man like the inner world of man. Man is now a fallen sinner, and so God shows him what his spiritual state is like when he looks at nature. So when man looks at nature, he can see the glory of God, although it is veiled by the curse of sin. Such a demonstration of the results of sin should drive men back to God for His solution to sin and death.

IF DEATH IS THE MECHANISM A GOD USED TO 'EVOLVE US' THEN THAT GOD IS NOT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO VIEWED DEATH AS A CONSEQUENCE OF SIN AND WHO ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BE PUT TO DEATH FOR OUR SINS ON THE CROSS.  HENCE IF EVOLUTIONISM WOULD BE TRUE, SATAN, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR NOTHING AND OUR FAITH PROTECTS US AGAINST THIS SCHEME, THIS WILE, THIS TRICK.
