1. What is your stand regarding the origin of life? Creation or Evolution? Explain your view.
For me, my stand regarding the origin of life is creation. As a muslim, I firmly believe by what is stated in
our holy Quran that He created the heavens and earth in Truth, and shaped you and perfected your
shapes; and to Him is the ultimate destination. God is the creator and sustainer of all things, and the
Bible / Quran serves as evidence of the history of creation. The theory of evolution is simply ruled out on
the basis of scientific reasoning, but for me it's not that well-established, it's just a theory that
speculates how the world was made.
2. Regarding the presentation by Dr. Kent Hovind, what are your opinions in comparison with the
theories of evolution?
Regarding the presentation by Dr. Kent Hovind, his statements about the comparison with the theories
of evolution were very organized and well explained. I admire how unbiased and very open he is about
stating his ideas that he has supported with evidence. I concur with Dr. Hovind 's remark that it's not
education when you're only presenting one side of the story, you need both sides to understand and
know the facts. Dr. Kent Hovind made me understand the origin of life clearer. The hypothesis of
evolution changes every now and then, it's incredible how humans came up with these concepts, but
from what I realized in the presentation, these theories are created only by a man while creation states
the words that actually came from God.
