Seminar Response 9-30


Debate-
In the debate they talked about how people wonder why we are here and if there are more of us. They said that some people believe that things were made by a god to make up for what they don't know and that they just invent gods to prove the unknowable. Something else that was said was that all of the religions that were created all point to the idea of morals and purpose of being on earth and that all of the religions are generally similar. One of the scientists said that the laws of science always going to happen and we can count on them occurring in the past.

Bill Nye-
Bill Nye tought that teaching creationism in classrooms is unreasonable to teach because science is observing around and discovering what you can observe. So we should let our kids discover for themselves if creationism is true or if there is no god and there is an alternative reason for why things are the way they are in this world. He also made the point that science can prove that the earth is over 10,000 years old and that dinosaurs roamed the earth millions of years ago disproving the creationism story of the earth being much younger.
