In this assignment you will summarize beliefs about the origin of the universe <strong>and</strong> life, including what Christians<br />
believe, what you believe, <strong>and</strong> how people’s beliefs about origins might impact how they live.<br />
After reflecting on Chapters 1 <strong>and</strong> 2 of Genesis, create a 15-slide PowerPoint presentation covering the following<br />
topics, paying particular emphasis on item three:<br />
1. Briefly explain the Genesis account of creation (first two chapters). The point is not to retell <strong>all</strong> aspects of the<br />
story in detail but just to make the message of the Bible clear.<br />
2. Explain <strong>and</strong> support your interpretation of the origin of the universe. Here you may want to address<br />
evolution, age of the earth, <strong>and</strong> whether or not it can be reconciled with the message of the Bible.<br />
3. Express how your underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the origin of the universe impacts your worldview, specific<strong>all</strong>y your view<br />
of God, of humanity, <strong>and</strong> responsibility to care for the earth.<br />
The first slide will be the title slide including your name <strong>and</strong> course information. The last slide(s) will be your list of<br />
references. You may use the textbook, the lecture, or other scholarly references. Cite <strong>all</strong> sources, including the Bible,<br />
as you would in an essay. The in-text citations should be placed on the actual slides in the presentation so the<br />
audience can see them. Put basic content on the actual slides <strong>and</strong> elaborate on <strong>all</strong> your points in the slide notes.<br />
In an effort to keep the file sizes reasonable, use no more than four low-resolution images. As in <strong>all</strong> aspects of this<br />
course, show respect for <strong>all</strong> other views, with no condescension. Keep your presentation positive <strong>and</strong> focused on<br />
what you believe, not on what you do not believe.<br />
Use one to three resources, other than the Bible.<br />
