research question

Research Journal

I am interested in researching the ideological basis behind the Creationist belief of human origins.

…Because I want to find out how Creationists can call their idea on human origins a theory without facts or evidence supporting it.

…And this is important because the debate over whether Creationism is regarded as a valid ‘theory’ on the origins of human life is still debated and because Creationists continue to denounce evolutions ever happened.

Questions

1. There are many different branches of creationism, what type would you look at?

2. Would you explore the classroom/teaching controversy through this subject?

3. What area or grouping of the worlds view would you examine?

  1. This person is interested in researching where/how Creationists got their belief on human origins from and whats the reasoning behind it, because he wants to find out how Creationists can support their ideas so strongly without a drop of factual evidence, and this is important to him because this debate is still going on and Creationists still refuse to believe in evolution.

    Is there a specific religion that you might want to focus on, or just any religion that believes the same way.
    Do contemporary Creationists still believe the exact same as Creationists in the past?
    Are there some groups of Creationists that are more hardcore, or more flexible in their beliefs?

    -scholarly/scientific journals on Creationist theories, and other theories on human origins
    -interviews with Creationists, and non-Creationists
    -recordings/documentations of debates concerning this issue

    1. The above commentators post was helpful to see a new way of saying what I was trying to convey. It is still saying the main idea of what I was attempting to research, because I believe my topic is pretty narrow already. I might rephrase it less complex then they did. I read their narrowing suggestions, but I want to concentrate on a little bigger picture then they would have narrowed it down to.

      …and this is important because the American school system continues to debate on what “theory” should be taught in science class.

  2. Creationists say that there is enough factual evidence to prove that humans were created in the same form we are found today. Creationists therefore call this idea on human origins a “theory.” However, I say that the official definition of what a theory is conflicts with this view. A theory is the “the analysis of a set of facts in their relation to one another.” I say this must be distinguished from speculation. Creationists “theory” is important to address because the American school system continues to waver on the legitimacy of the Creationists viewpoint as a scientific theory.
