Lib 200 Critical Thinking Blog Assignment #3

Chloe Chiappetti

Of the topics from the research paper idea number 3 has caught my eye. The fight between Creationist and Darwinism is a widely debated topic due to Christianity being the major religion in the world. Some people believe that Creationism that has no scientific proof should be taught in schools and has been shot down on numerous occasions. There is even a creationist museum, that is backed by a small percentage of scientists, where people learn the fundamental truths of the bible “the earth is only 4 thousand years old.” Evolution is just a theory not a proven fact. Noah was able to take two of every animal om the ark. “A recent debate done by William Sanfurd Nye or Bill Nye and Ken Ham can show you blatant ignorance religion can cause. The reason this topic peaks my interest because I was brought up in a religious household and I’m a practicing Christian. Science vs. religion can make a person question their beliefs.

Albert Einstein is considered to one of if not the most brilliant man to have ever lived. Even nearly 100 years after his death we are still are proving some of his theories correct. I’m interested to learn in great detail of his theory of relativity which is a backbone of modern day physics and explains much about how our universe works. This topic interests me and I look forward to exploring it further.

After doing some research on both topics I have made my decision to write my research paper on Creationist and Darwinism. This idea has been spoken about a great deal in recent years. I’m eager to learn about all the different arguments on this controversial topic !
