The Emergency Of Monotheism

Evolutionists believe that what we mean by monotheism is more recent than the religions it describes.

It has to do with evolution. For instance, Dan Assman calls it "evolutionary monotheism"; although not all scholars of religion agree with this interpretation.

Darwinists assume that before monotheism became popular, many folks thought that their religion was the most popular one. Thus, when it comes to Christianity, they just taught the worshippers of other religions served demons.

Matthew Chalmers thinks that some Jewish and Muslim writers interpreted the Holy Trinity as three gods rather than one. Instead, the distinction between polytheism and monotheism is one we've made in retrospect to try and make sense of our own history.

However, God tells men to listen to him. in the Bible, God is presented as the one who made the heavens and Earth.
