Exploring the Theory of Evolution and Genesis!
Scafell have been asking big questions this week!
Our topic in RE this term has involved exploring creation stories from different religions and cultures; and comparing them to the Christian story of Creation found in the Old Testament, in the book of Genesis. We have also looked at the findings of great scientists, including: David Attenborough, Stephen Hawkings and Charles Darwin.
We invited Sarah from NISCU into school. Sarah is a scientist and a Christian. She talked to us about how it is possible to believe in the scientific theories explaining the beginning of the world whilst also believing that God began this sequence of events. She really got us to think about these big questions and ideas in more detail with some fantastic props and activities that included: dominoes, party poppers, mystery feely bags and an animation showing the theory of evolution of millions of years.
