Where this presentation fits: This presentation recaps the different creation stories and examines the difference between creation stories and scientific theories. Pupils are asked to discuss different meanings of looking after the world and investigate Christian ideas about stewardship, the Jewish concept of Tikkun Olam (healing the world) and Humanist ideas of environmental responsibilities.
Further enrichment: Lived experience: Interview a scientist from a faith community.
Possible misconceptions: Many people view scientific and religious views as incompatible, however some people of faith state that believers can accept both their beliefs and scientific theories and believe that creation can be interpreted alongside science.
Points to note: Creation stories and scientific theories are different types of knowledge. Scientists have different theories about how the world began. Religious believers might say that Science answers the question ‘How?’ and Religion answers the question ‘Why?’ Whilst many religious believers accept there are symbolic meanings behind the creation stories – that they do not have to be taken literally - some believers do accept the creation stories literally.

Explanation: Are there other explanations for the beginning of the world? Scientists have different theories about how the world began and how living things evolved.

Religious believers might say that Science answers the question ‘How?’ and Religion answers the question 'Why?'
What do you think? Talk to your group. Explanation: Do science and religion agree about creation? I think the creation stories are like
symbols to explain how the world started. I think the creation stories tell us that God created the world, but science tells us how.<br>

Explanation: Looking after the world Creation stories teach that all living things are important. The creation story in the Bible teaches that everything was good. God tells Adam and Eve to care for creation. Christians believe in stewardship of the world and take it very seriously. A steward is someone who takes care of something that does not belong to them.
For a Christian, stewardship is about being responsible for God’s world.
Why might stewardship be so important to Christians?
What might Christians do to be good stewards of creation?<br>

Explanation: Looking after the world All faiths teach responsibility for the world and respect for others.
Jewish people believe that God expects them to care for the world. They believe in the practice of tikkun olam. Tikkun olam translates to “repairing the world.”
What might Jewish people do in their everyday lives to 'repair the world'?<br>

Humanists do not believe in a god. They believe it is possible to live a good and fulfilling life without following a traditional religion. Humanists rely on science to explain the origins of the world and the way things are.
How might belief in science help a Humanist to show responsibility for the world?
Is it only Humanists that believe in science and scientific theories? Explanation: Looking after the world<br>

Learning summary People with religious and non-religious worldviews believe they have a responsibility to care for the world. Christians might talk about stewardship. Jews might follow the practice of tikkun olam. Scientists might talk about the ‘big bang’ as a way of explaining how life began and evolved over millions of years. Some scientists might have a religious worldview.<br>
