Creation:

Big Bang Theory:

  • It states the world began from one compressed point which was full of kinetic energy.

  • The energy made the point expand rapidly,making it produce Hydrogen.

  • Hydrogen is then fused to make Helium,which made matter clump together,eventually forming planets.

Strengths:

  • The Red Shift suggests planets are getting further and further away,which suggests the universe is still expanding.

  • We still have background radiation which suggests there is still the formation of helium and hydrogen,suggesting the Big Bang did occur.

Weaknesses:

  • It only suggests how the world is formed after a certain period,not the whole time frame.

  • It doesn't state the purpose of life.

  • What caused the first point?

  • There must’ve been something that caused the energy.What was it?

Theory Of Evolution:

  • It suggests life started from the first organism,a bacteria.

  • Then organisms developed to adapt to different conditions,making an evolution chain.

Strengths:

  • We share 95% of our DNA with mice and 50% with a cabbage.

  • Fossils suggest there are extinct species.

Weaknesses:

  • It doesn’t state the purpose of life.

  • It doesn’t say how life began.

  • It doesn’t explain the purpose of life.

Christianity(creation):

  • Creationalist would believe the Bible literally ; God created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th.

  • Some believe in theBig Bang Theory,which was first implied by George Le Maitre,a Catholic Priest.

  • Others believe in the Evolution Theory, such as Pope Francis who said ‘Evolution in nature does not conflict with the notion of creation.’

  4. Heavily bodies such as sun,moon,stars were made.

  5. Sea creatures and birds were formed.

  • ‘So God created mankind in his own image’

Islam (creation):

  • They also believe Allah created mankind from clay and angels from light.

  • If a Muslim wants to believe in the Big Bang Theory they need to take the creation story metaphorically.

Quotations:

  • ‘Allah began the creation of man from clay’

  • ‘It is allah who created the heavens and Earth’

  • ‘Allah created the heavens and the Earth,and all that is between them, in six days’

Environment:

Solutions to environmental problems:

  • Recycle to avoid the use of non-renewable materials.

  • Reduce waste going to landfill.

  • Use public transport instead of vehicles with pollution.

  • Try using sustainable energy.

  • Campaign to inform others on the problems of the environment,such as lobbying.

Environmental issues:

  • Climate change is the Earth's temperature rising due to the amount of excess greenhouse gases rising such as carbon dioxide.These lead to hotter days with longer periods of drought,causing animals having the inability to adapt or survive.We could slow the effects of these by finding energy contained in sustainable products rather than fossil fuels.

  • Pollution is the contamination of the environment which can be harmful.There are types of pollution such as:

  • Air pollution - busy roads and factories cause acidic rain which damages buildings and structures.
