Object of study – Which creation story appears to be more valid in our society. I will compare Genesis and the Big Bang theory. I will critically analyse whether science assumes that Genesis is an explanatory theory, when perhaps it is not. It is very much a scientific discourse.
I plan to find that The Big Bang theory is a better explanation of creation in today’s society, and whether an atheist can explain creation.
