    Knowing how the universe or life began is important; it gives us 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 be in conflict. I have faith that a supernatural being who is God created the entire universe. What we know from the teaching of the Church and from 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 history of creation. In theology class it was emphasized that the Bible is infallible, but that does not mean it should be taken literally word for word. This is why I disagree with Young Earth Creationism. Reading the Bible really involves understanding it. 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 just one week. This is not what we should focus 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 shows that there is a connection between science and God. They say that a God constructs or guides through science; there is a natural revelation. If you analyze Genesis 1-11, you can observe that they contain features of the structure, functioning and origin of the ancient science of the universe and life. This part actually shows or offers a historical record of real events. As said before, the... middle of paper ......s who believe in the existence of God the creator. Indeed, the Earth must have scientific explanations, but there must be someone responsible and that is God. According to Johannes Keppler, yes there is a physical force, despite the random elements 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 this to be something spiritual. This is faith, belief and trust, not just without reason, but because it is reasonable. Well, nothing is 100 percent sure, but having faith guarantees that you may not see it, but you can feel it.
