Knowing how the universe or life began is important; it gives us a sense of purpose. I believe in the theory of evolutionary creationism. Evolutionary Creationism is a theory defined as “the belief that God guides nature and evolution.” It is a theory that states that science and belief in God complement each other and should not conflict. I believe that a supernatural being who is God created the entire universe. What we know from Church teaching and science is that life was created from nothing. The Bible is considered a book of faith; It contains what God wants to tell us, it contains the teaching on the story of creation. In the Theology lesson it was emphasized that the Bible is infallible but this does not mean that it should be taken literally word for word. This is why I disagree with Young Earth Creationism. Reading the Bible really involves understanding. It's like reading a storybook, it can use different styles to show or make the message clearer. This is how literature works. In the creation story, the message is not that God created everything in a single week. This is not what we should be focusing on; we should focus on the message that there is a God who created us, who created everything from nothing. The evolutionary creationist believes that the Bible contains ancient science. This proves that there is a connection between science and God. They are saying that a God builds or guides through science; there is a natural revelation. If you analyze Genesis 1 – 11, you can observe that it contains characteristics of the structure, functioning and origin of the universe and life of ancient science. This part actually shows or offers historical documentation of real events. As stated before, the......middle of paper......believe in the existence of God the creator. Indeed the Earth must have scientific explanations, but there must be someone responsible for this and that is God. According to Johannes Keppler, yes, there is a physical force, despite the random things we see there is a pattern. There is a repeating pattern: there is a sense of order in the world. There is a “Eureka” moment when you understand how the universe works; the church considers it something spiritual. This is faith, believing and trusting not just for no reason but because it is reasonable. Well, nothing is 100% sure, but having faith assures you that you may not see it but you can feel it.
