Sheperd has been criticized many times for her creationist worldview and her biblical view of history. They confirmed in The View on 18 September 2007, not evolution to believe ( "I do not believe in evolution. Period.") And claimed to have never thought about whether the earth flat is or round. This earned her ridicule, as did her testimony in The View on December 4, 2007, when she claimed in a debate about Epicurus that there were Christians in ancient Greece who were accused of the lions.
