>01.29.2008 Reflection on Class Activity 1

We investegated the text of Genesis in a more critical fashion. Questions such as what is scientific about Genesis? What is obviously implausible about Genesis? were directed toward the creation myth put forth in chapter 1. My partner and I agreed that Genesis does not provide scientific views of the world and should not be an option for public schools. However, we both agreed that the story could be problematic for more conservative Christians with how they view the world. From this lecture I formulated some seed for the first paper of the class-why and how could religion shape a person's understanding of Evolution?
