Opinion of Evolution By Marli Backhaus

I believe in the biblical version of how all creation evolved. I believe in God therefore I
believe in this form of evolution. In my faith it is believed that God created light on the first day,
the sky on the second day, dry land, seas, and plants on the third day, Sun, Moon, and stars on the
fourth day, sea creatures and birds on the fifth day, land animals and humans on the sixth day,
and on the seventh day God rested. This now makes up the seven days of the week and Sabbath
on Sunday. However, theses are hypothetical “days” that could have been billions of years in the
making. All life that believes this origination will past and go into eternal life in heaven with
God. When humans made a ruckus there was a giant flood similar to other theories’ mass
extinction. God commanded Noah to build an ark to outlive the flood. Two of every species was
taken on an ark as well as Noah’s family. Noah urged others to get on the ark, but they didn’t.
So it rained, the impurity was wiped out, and Noah’s family, as well as all other species aboard
the ark, repopulated. To prevent this from happening again, God sent part of himself in the form
of human. This human was named Jesus, the son of God. He was crucified, dead, and
resurrected, in order to pay for all of our sins. It is now believed that if you believe in Jesus
Christ, your sins are forgiven. God promised to never again send a flood, and Jesus Christ
helped to purify humans and get them in touch with the truths of the Holy Spirit. Before Jesus,
humans also made an attempt to build a ladder to heaven, but God created a language barrier to
cancel the project. Later it was said in the bible that Jesus Christ was the “ladder” that connected
humans and worldly things with the heavens and Holy Spirit.
I believe this form of creation due to believing in God my whole life and truly entrusting
my life in the church and holy spirit. Though science is important for other topics, the idea of
passing and your soul just become extinct is very ominous. The thought of one day going to
heaven where all can live in peace and harmony, is a way more optimistic outlook than just
becoming organic matter within a pile of dirt. Though there are things that can not be described
when connecting what scientists have uncovered about the past and the morals of the bible, I do
not care to agree or disagree. I believe in the bible, and have little care within the science realm.
As long as we continue to work at retracing our carbon footprint to a healthier planet so the
extinction rates go down, the hole in the ozone shrinks or slows pace, and nuclear weaponry it

kept at bay, how everything got here has little worry. We just must maintain an environment that
can accommodate to all species, and last as long as it can for all of those to come.
