Slide4

Is it religion vs. science?

What is religion?

What is science?

What is the aim of each of them?Slide5

You can believe in both!

Religion is about:

Belief

Faith in something larger than ourselves

Doing the right thing as best as we are ableSlide6

You can believe in both!

Science is about:

Understanding how materials are put together (atoms to zebras) and how they work (amplification of sound to yawns)

Learning by using the scientific method

Observations, ideas, trying ideas out, developing scientific experiments to see if you were right, getting results, drawing conclusions

Changing conclusions if new or more data changes resultsSlide7

Both can coexist.

How does that make you feel about being on earth?Slide8

How was our earth made? (Bible)

Bible – Genesis

King James Bible

The Beginning

(

John 1:1-5

)

1

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness

was

upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

The First Day: Light

3

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4

And God saw the light, that

it was

good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

The Second Day: Firmament

6

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7

And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which

were

under the firmament from the waters which

were

above the firmament: and it was so.

8

And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.Slide9

How was our earth made? (Bible)

The Third Day: Dry Ground

9

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry

land

appear: and it was so.

10

And God called the dry

land

Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that

it was

good.

11

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed,

and

the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed

is

in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12

And the earth brought forth grass,

and

herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed

was

in itself, after his kind: and God saw that

it was

good.

13

And the evening and the morning were the third day.

The Fourth Day: Sun, Moon, Stars

14

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15

And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16

And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night:

he made

the stars also.

17

And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18

And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that

it was

good.

19

And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.Slide10

How was our earth made? (Bible)

The Fifth Day: Fish and Birds

20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl

that

may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21

And God created great whales, and every living creature that

moveth

, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that

it was

good.

22

And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23

And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

The Sixth Day: Creatures on Land

24

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25

And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that

creepeth

upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that

it was

good.Slide11

How was our earth made? (Bible)

26

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that

creepeth

upon the earth.

27

So God created man in his

own

image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that

moveth

upon the earth.

29

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which

is

upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which

is

the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that

creepeth

upon the earth, wherein

there is

life,

I have given

every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold,

it was

very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Slide12

What does this mean to you?Slide13

13

What is Science?

There is a scientific thinking process, which any person might use, and…

There is a process by which scientists develop, conduct and publish the results of

experiments

they do, and…

There is the science of

analyzing evidence

, which may be from experiments or from the natural world and can be done by anyone.Slide14

14

How would a scientist analyze and publish conclusions based on observing evidence? Slide15

15

Science by

Evaluating Evidence

Scientific process of evaluating evidence:

making observations,

collecting evidence, using logic based on current knowledge,

and developing hypothesis which are then validated (or invalidated) by more evidence

collected by yourself and other scientists

.Slide16

This can be done by:

Designing a way to get evidence through

experimentation

, in the lab or outside,

Or in some cases by

examining evidence

(for example, in situations where precise experimentation is not possible such as to validate long-term evolution).

An example of this is the

discovery of gravity waves from the earliest days of the universe.

Slide18

Can you think up an experiment to tell you if Snowball really CAN dance to the beat?Slide19

What is your initial observation about Snowball that tells you he’s interesting?

What would an experiment need to make it valid?

A hypothesis that you can design your experiment from.

Control(s)

Variable(s)

Replicates

What do you want to test to determine if your hypothesis holds up or is incorrect?

What would your experiment be? (How is your test designed?)Slide20

Slide21

One Arguable Scientists’

Version of How the Earth Was Formed

(We Weren’t There)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsn3wpVAcjk

What do you think the scientists here might have gotten directly by experiment?

What might they have gotten by observing evidence of the past?Slide22

Things to note:

How was it formed?

How long ago?

Was it habitable by humans?

What are some of the stages it went through?Slide23

Earth layers

Slide24

Why is the earth’s core so hot?

There are three main sources of heat in the deep earth: (1) heat from when the planet formed and accreted, which has not yet been lost; (2) frictional heating, caused by denser core material sinking to the center of the planet; and (3) heat from the decay of radioactive elements.

Slide25

Ice ages

When have Ice Ages occurred?

Many glacial advances and retreats have occurred during the last billion years of Earth history. These glaciations are not randomly distributed in

time.Instead

, they are concentrated into four time intervals.

late Proterozoic (between about800 and 600 million years ago),

during the Pennsylvanian and Permian (between about 350 and 250 million years ago),

and the late Neogene

toQuaternary

(the last 4 million years).

Somewhat less extensive glaciations occurred during portions of the Ordovician and Silurian (between about 460 and 430 million years ago). Slide26

Ice Age Periods

late Proterozoic (between

about 800

and 600 million years ago),

during the Pennsylvanian and Permian (between about 350 and 250 million years ago),

and the late Neogene

toQuaternary

(the last 4 million years).

Somewhat less extensive glaciations occurred during portions of the Ordovician and Silurian (between about 460 and 430 million years ago). Slide27

Ice Age Periods

During each of these intervals, many glacial advances and retreats occurred. For example, over 60 glacial advances and retreats have occurred during the last 2 million years.

If "ice age" is used to refer to long, generally cool, intervals during which glaciers advance and retreat, we are still in one today. Our modern climate represents a very short, warm period between glacial advances.
