Nowadays, most textbooks only present the theory of evolution as a fact for interpreting the origin of life and of the earth. More and more people unconsciously reject creation because they have not had the opportunity to compare and evaluate the two worldviews to the same degree. I interviewed my three close acquaintances and heard various responses from many people, including my interviewees. Some of them had the same beliefs as me, but others had very different opinions from me. Due to the monopoly of evolutionary theory on education, non-believers and Christians are unconsciously influenced by this secular worldview. Because of this compromised worldview, the interpretation of Genesis 1 can vary greatly among Christians. Some people interpret Genesis 1 literally, while others have a slightly different opinion about it. The first person interviewed was a Japanese seminary student who is in the same organization as me. When I asked her about the length of a day in Genesis 1, she said it was 6 days because she literally believed in Genesis 1. Additionally, she thinks the Earth should have about 6,000 years according to his previous knowledge. Then she said there was no common ancestor because she believed God created apes and humans separately. Therefore, she believes that Adam and Eve were real people. The second person interviewed was my father, a pastor with strong convictions and firm standards in all things Bible. My father's response was basically the same. He believes that Adam and Eve really existed and that man and apes are distinct beings according to the Bible. However, He showed a slightly different perspective towards the age of the Earth. He doubted the young earth theory because Moses' reference to Genesis 1 should be an indir...... middle of paper ...... My friend, who claims to believe in Confucianism, responded to my first question with a smile. Although he thinks that evolution is more meaningful than creation, he refuses to admit that man and apes share a common ancestor, because not only does he want to believe in a higher power, but he also wants to value human life. A short period of doubt about evolution, a short period of questioning about a higher power gave me the opportunity to explain the problems of evolution. My friend always respected my faith even though he was a non-believer, so I was able to tell him that the worldview of evolution and creation depends greatly on one's faith and that evolution is not as scientific as he thought. When the Bible makes sense to them, they believe in God and the rest of the Bible. Works Cited Dewitt, David A. History of Life Course epack. Creation Curriculum LLC, 2012. Print.
