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