There is scientific evidence that supports both creation and evolution. Creation and evolution are both theories that cannot be wholly proven. By teaching only one theory educators endorse single-mindedness and perpetuate scientific illiteracy.

Science is a double edged sword, right when we learn something new it can prove some other thought wrong. When Charles Darwin came out with his book Origin of Species it became a pillar for evolution to stand on. My goal is not to disprove evolution (although it is, in fact, an unproven theory) but to show that it is flawed. To bring the flaws and discrepancies of evolution to the surface would provide an opening for another origin of life. The evidence for creation lies in the evidence for a young earth, evidence in the archeological field, evidence that the facts in the Christian bible, and Jewish Torah are true.

I'll work on it...

While assessing my annotated bib. my peers found, and i agree, that i need more sources. In the copy i handed in i only annotated 'scholerly' sources (3), but i do have many more internet sources but i was under the impression those sources were not scholerly. I will annotate every source in my revisions. I also need to clarify some of my point... my intent is not to tear evolution apart. Evolution is a widely believed theory and it would be impossible to discredit the entire theory, my intent is to show both evolution and creation are missing some important scientific evidence, and they are BOTH only THEORIES. We should pose both theories to students and let them decide for themselves. Lastly, i forgot to separate my sources into catagories so i will deffinatly do that when i list all my sources.

Humphreys, D. Russell Ph. D. (1994). Starlight and Time: Solving the puzzle of distant starlight in a young universe. Green forest, AR: Master Books Inc.

In the book Starlight and time Russell provides a scientific explanation of how stars can be millions of light years away but still be only thousands of years old. His scientific research is compatible with creation theory. Although the book was written over ten years ago the science still holds true. The book is very specific and deals with only one issue of creation, age of the earth. However, this book gives credible scientific evidence to the possibility of creation.

Strobel, Lee. (1998). The Case For Christ: A Journalist’s Personal Investigation of the Evidence For Jesus. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan Publishing House.

Lee Strobel has a Master of Studies in Law degree from Yale Law School and was a journalist for thirteen years with the Chicago Tribune and other newspapers. He started his research on the evidence for Jesus as an atheist. The theological and scientific research overwhelms him and he becomes a believer.

Plagiarize This!...

1. What is plagiarism?
Using any information that isn’t common knowledge, or original personal insight, with out in-text citation and Bibliographic citation.

2. How do you avoid plagiarism?
Start you research early, Give credit where credit is due, and Discover how to use various citation styles like APA to cite information.

(Ironically, my answer to question 2 is, in fact, plagiarism. But I’m not researching proper citation for a ‘BLOG’)

Creationism in schools…how am I framing my paper?

Reviewer of a Controversy: In this role, the writer reports the arguments on various sides of a controversy inside the discipline or field.

What are the arguments for and against teaching Creation (Alongside Evolution) in public schools?

Analyzer and Evaluator of a Controversy: This role is like the preceding one except that the writer must now evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the various voices in the controversy. This extra spin makes the task much more challenging.

Which is stronger, the argument for Creation or the argument for evolution?
What empirical scientific evidence supports Creation and why is Evolution the only theory being taught in public Schools?

Creationism... "You want answers!? I want the truth! You can't handle the truth!!"
