I belive that on the specturm i would be right were christa said she was. Im christain & i belive that god created all things. but i belive evolution is somehow involved.

My specific belifes as a chrisatin do chnage every once in a while though. I do think evolution occurs, there is to much proof. but i cannot belive we came from monkeys. I belive humans themselves may have changed slightly. But other things may have changed alot. Im actually kind of confused on the subject. but being christian ill leave it up to god.

this is a pretty controversial question and it can divide a lot of people, but i would have to say that i fall somewhere in between. with the progression of science more is brought to the attention of relgious people like me that some things in the bible can easily be questioned. i have a balance between creationism and evolution however i would lean more into believing in evolution. there is actual proof right in front of me which is more satisfying than just my own faith. i think the idea of adam and eve is difficult to believe because of many various aspects. However i think it is a nice idea to believe that we all started somewhere and we are all distant relatives of one another but it is just much harder to believe something so abstract and it is much easier to understand that we gradually changed over time.

I'm with the "in betweens" on the spectrum of beliefs. I'm with this side because I do believe God created the earth but I don't think the bible should be taken lierally. Also because I can't ignore the fact that they are digging up dinosuars and primitive human bones.Also scientists believe we evolved from apes but that doesn't mean God didn't cause it.

2006-11-19T18:13:00.000-08:00

I think I lie on the right end of the spectrum because I do not believe in the belief that the earth was created in seven days. I also believe that we all evolved from one organism.

2006-11-17T13:15:00.000-08:00

Its kind of wierd but some times i beive in god and sometimes i dont. Like i believe in miracles but not that god created everything. Maybe he created one thing and everything evolved off of that. So since i belive in taht i would say im more of an evolutionist. But im moslty inbetween. Because the first species or organism had to some from somewhere right

I would have to agree with Olivia to a certain degree. I would have to place myself between creationism and creational science. I believe in God and the bible and the world was created in seven days but I also believe that evolution occurs naturally in animals. However I do not believe that humans evolved from monkeys or anything like that.

2006-11-16T16:54:00.000-08:00

I would be in the middle of the spectrum. I dont go to church so I wouldnt really know what the bible says is true about creationism. But I do believe that god did create some things in the universe, but also evolution had to come into play somewhere. Change is always happening, that's evolution. The world was created somehow, and that's creationism. I believe in both sides.

2006-11-15T15:48:00.000-08:00

I would have to say I am on the left side (the creationists) because it makes the most sense to me. I don't know everything about evolution, but for some reason the idea that these conditions for life like the earth, sea, and sun have always been there doesn't make sense. It brings questions like who created those things, and how did they create life. I think that God created them and all life. I am not close-minded and would like to understand evolution more so I can become a well-rounded person. However, I do not think this will change my beliefs.

2006-11-15T13:43:00.000-08:00

On the spectrum of beliefs, I am in between creation science, intelligent design, and evolutionists. My family has never had any real set religious beliefs, so I've made up my own based on what they have taught me. My beliefs are a combination of both of my parents' beliefs, and I really enjoy this freedom to expand and never have to think a certain way. For example, I believe that there is a greater creator, and that things happen for a reason and not just by chance. Everything has a specific purpose in life, which can somewhat explain differences in our world. I love science, but don't always agree with some of the things that we are taught. Some of them just don't make sense, and I base my beliefs on things that make sense to me. But back to my specific beliefs, I believe in a greater creator and that everything is based off of things in the past, kind of like evolution. In general, I agree with different bits and pieces of theories and beliefs, and have combined them into my own ideas. This really makes me feel like I have freedom, which is how beliefs should make you feel.

2006-11-15T12:55:00.000-08:00

Like Christa, I would lie between the creationists and the Middle. I believe in God, and everything that the Bible says, but I also believe that the Bible is not meant to be literal all of the time. I believe that God could have caused change over time to happen. I know that my beliefs won't change; in fact, I think that this unit will make them stronger.

2006-11-15T09:06:00.000-08:00

I think im placed in the in between group. I believe in the Bible version but i also believe in the science part of it. I think that the earth was created by the big bang and thats how the earth was created. Yet i believe in god createing plants and anmials. But then from there i think that humans were created through evolution.

2006-11-15T07:21:00.000-08:00

I would have to say that im on the creation side. Growing up in a religious family taught me that God created everything. Since then, I have stayed that way and believed in it because of what my family has said and the Bible. I agree with Danh that humans can have an effect on evolution and make some changes on the earth.

2006-11-15T06:12:00.000-08:00

I would be right between creationism and the middle because yes evolution does occer but it isnt just by chane I belive god made it thhat way.

2006-11-15T05:55:00.000-08:00

On the spectrum of beliefs I fall in the "Atheist" category. I believe in Darwin's Theory of Evolution. We have proof that this theory is correct, and we have no proof that creation ever happened. Science and Faith are two very different things; Science proves things based on evidence, while when Science is used to prove Faith then it diminishes the purpose of it.

2006-11-15T05:43:00.000-08:00

I believe that I fall between the creationist side and the "in betweens" becuase of what the bible says: How God created the earth, land, water, sky, plants, animals. He created everything and I believe that, but also I believe evolution does happen and it shows that over the years, no doubt. Scientists have been showing the world now that we "evolved" over time and have been trying to prove all this happened because of a big bang theory. So what if the big bang happened, God cause it that way. What would have created atoms and neutrons and everything else needed for a big bang? God. God caused our evolution because he knew it was the right thing to do to make our civilization become what it is, otherwise...we may still be monkeys.

2006-11-15T05:36:00.000-08:00

I would say that I would fall on the more creationist side of right in the middle. This because i am religious but i believe that science has shaped our everyday lives. Basically the only way we make sense out of things is by science and religion so i would say that it is right to say that both have shaped our existance today.

2006-11-14T20:45:00.000-08:00

On the spectrum of beliefs, I would place myself in the middle category where the religion of creation and the theory of evolution co-exist to help explain where we came from. Being raised in a basic Christian-beliefs family, I was originally taught that evolution is wrong. My father, however, opened my eyes to the alternative possibility of both religion and science being correct when he simply stated "I bet Adam and Eve looked a great deal different than we look now." I believe that science and religion should not cancel each other out but should work together to unravel the mystery of where we came from and how we were created.

2006-11-14T20:29:00.000-08:00

I think that i fall int the middle of the spectrum. I do believe that God created the universe and life but I believe that he set up dominos pushed the first and watched them fall. He created life so that it could evolve. He started the chain reaction of the Big Bang. God created everything but he let nature do the rest.

2006-11-14T20:16:00.000-08:00

I think that i am more towards the creationist side of the spectrum. Although i definatly do agree with some of the evolutionist theorys, i have sort of a combination of the two that i belive in. I think that a higher power created life on earth, but we may have evolved from what that higher power may have initially created. Or something to that extent.

Both sides have good arguements, and i think both of the theorys may be right. But who will ever know?

2006-11-14T20:09:00.000-08:00

On the spectrum of beliefs I would fall in between the creationism and the middle. I do believe in God and the Bible, and everything in it. I also believe that life on earth was made so that it could adapt over time. I think that evolution does occur, however I think it happens slowly. I don't believe that everything was created from some bang that triggered single cell organisms to evolve into the millions of celled organisms we are today. Over time, I think there have been small evolutions, like between spicies, but I dont think that any major species came from another one, like humans from monkeys. I haven't learned much about evolution, but when i do, I don't think I'll change my mind, seing as im already somewhat in the middle.

2006-11-14T19:55:00.000-08:00

On the spectrum of beliefs i lean more towards the religious part. I believe that God is real and created life but i also believe that we advanced as we went a long also.

2006-11-14T19:51:00.000-08:00

i belive that i fall into the evolutionist category. im not very religous, not because my family isnt, they are, i just believe differently. i aslo believe in science over a book that was written well before anyone was capable of knowing what they know now. i dont want to offened anyone but science is just way more believable than religion. For one, there is different levels of beliefs in religoin. Where as Evolutionism, there is sound evidance that this is the way the world and life was made.

2006-11-14T19:44:00.000-08:00

To Syers:
I did not feel the video ("Why Is Evolution Controversial Anyway?") you presented to the class presented the side of creationism very well. I mean no offense by this but I would have loved for the opposite side to be presented. The video seemed to fall more in the center of the chart.

2006-11-14T19:42:00.000-08:00

I think if I was to fall some where on the spectrum of beliefs I would be on the side of the evolutionists. I believe that God MAY have created the Earth with the intentions of evolution but not that all humans are the desendents of Adam and Eve. I 100% believe in evolution because there is evidence and when there is some form of evidence that some "Almighty God" created the Earth in 7 days then my beliefs might change, but for now I just don't buy it.

2006-11-14T18:58:00.000-08:00

I think on the Spectrum of Beliefs I fall more in the middle. I do believe that god created a lot but only to a certain extent. Evolution though does have its theories which I do also believe in. I might be changing my opinion later on in this unit.
