This letter is in response to the article about “Evolution Sunday,” Feb. 13. Personally, I cannot fathom how a Bible-believing minister can agree with the theory of evolution. I also have a hard time understanding why people think that science and the Bible have been separated. I believe that we do need science to understand the Bible and vice versa. But when it comes to the theory of evolution, I disagree.

If the Rev. Virginia Snapp-Cunningham is a Bible-believing Christian, then has she not read Genesis 1:25? This verse clearly says, “God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds.” It does not say, “God made a fish that became an amphibian and thus spawned all the animals of the world.” Later on in the same book it says, “The Lord formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” (Genesis 2:7)

Based on these two verses, and the absence in the Bible of the billions of years that the evolutionists claim are needed to explain the formation of the Earth, I don’t understand where the reverend is coming from, or on what in the Bible she is basing her claims.

I believe that in accepting the Biblical view of creation, a person must reject the theory of evolution.
