With their Nov. 1 wedding right around the corner, Jessa Duggar and her fiancé Ben Seewald took some time to share their beliefs with their fans on Wednesday, Sept. 24. The couple and Jessa’s younger sister Jinger visited the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, a long way away from their hometown of Tontitown, Arkansas.
“Beautiful walking trails at the #CreationMuseum,” the 21-year-old 19 Kids and Counting star captioned an Instagram photo of her sis Jinger wearing a yellow jacket and grey, pleated skirt.
She also shared a funny video of her fiancé standing next to a large plant, goofing off.
“Just sitting here in the rainforest in Jurassic Park,” he joked. “No, we’re here at the Creation Museum.”
The fifth eldest child of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar also took some time to outline her beliefs when it comes to the debate between creationism and evolution. Citing the Bible, Creationists believe that the universe and its creatures were created by God’s acts of “divine creation,” a highly-contested belief in the scientific community.
Posting a picture of one of the museum’s charts about dinosaurs, Duggar wrote out a long explanation of her thoughts on creationism.
“If there really was a worldwide flood (as the Bible speaks of), what would the evidence be? Billions of dead things buried in rock layers, laid down by water, all over the earth,” she wrote. “And that’s exactly what we find. Billions of dead things buried in rock layers, laid down by water, all over the earth. An Evolutionist and a Creationist will look at the same thing, but come to different conclusions because of their different starting points.”
