[7] Haarsma joined the faculty of Calvin University, where she served as a professor and chair of the physics and astronomy departments.
[15] She sharply criticized the book Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique published by Crossway and written by members related to the Discovery Institute.
She stated that she believes that evolution occurs by natural selection (and other things included in Neo-Darwinism), but considers God's providence to be an additional factor.
[20] During her presidency at BioLogos, Haarsma commented on the Bill Nye–Ken Ham debate,[21] which had been criticized for giving attention to Answers in Genesis (an organization that promotes young Earth creationism) and for fueling the creation-evolution controversy.
Fossils, genetics, and other disciplines give compelling evidence that all life on earth is related and developed over a very long time through natural processes.
