Creation:
Big Bang Theory:
-
It states the world began from one compressed point which was full of kinetic energy.
-
The energy made the point expand rapidly,making it produce Hydrogen.
-
Hydrogen is then fused to make Helium,which made matter clump together,eventually forming planets.
Strengths:
-
The Red Shift suggests planets are getting further and further away,which suggests the universe is still expanding.
-
We still have background radiation which suggests there is still the formation of helium and hydrogen,suggesting the Big Bang did occur.
Weaknesses:
-
It only suggests how the world is formed after a certain period,not the whole time frame.
-
It doesn't state the purpose of life.
-
What caused the first point?
-
There must’ve been something that caused the energy.What was it?
Theory Of Evolution:
-
It suggests life started from the first organism,a bacteria.
-
Then organisms developed to adapt to different conditions,making an evolution chain.
Strengths:
-
We share 95% of our DNA with mice and 50% with a cabbage.
-
Fossils suggest there are extinct species.
Weaknesses:
-
It doesn’t state the purpose of life.
-
It doesn’t say how life began.
-
It doesn’t explain the purpose of life.

-
Campaign to inform others on the problems of the environment,such as lobbying.
Environmental issues:
-
Climate change is the Earth's temperature rising due to the amount of excess greenhouse gases rising such as carbon dioxide.These lead to hotter days with longer periods of drought,causing animals having the inability to adapt or survive.We could slow the effects of these by finding energy contained in sustainable products rather than fossil fuels.
-
Pollution is the contamination of the environment which can be harmful.There are types of pollution such as:
-
Air pollution - busy roads and factories cause acidic rain which damages buildings and structures.
