Having done this we’ve also considered Christian responses to these ideas. A full handout is here, but in summary:

  • More conservative Christians tend to take the Bible literally, so will interpret the story in Genesis 1 as historical.
  • Liberal Christians don’t take the Bible so literally. They look more at the “genre” or “type” of story found in the Bible and say that Genesis 1 clearly isn’t history. It has elements of poetry and so isn’t supposed to be describing exactly what happened, but instead is more about the relationship between God and creation.

For homework I’d like a paragraph attempting to answer the following question: “Is it possible to be a Christian scientist?”

Try to get across an answer from both a conservative and liberal point of view. How might the way a Christian reads the Bible affect their answer to such a question? This is due a week after I set it in class.

When I find my camera cable I’ll upload some pictures of your models here…

If you want some more information on the three models check the handout here.
