Film Reflection #2:

Evolution vs. Creation: The Never-Ending Battle

Watch the film at the following link:

57:31 

The conflict between Evolution and Creationism is an old topic that continues to be an issue in our society today. It involves the debate on how human beings and other prehistoric animals were created, and how they evolved.

Charles’s Darwin’s Theory of Evolution claimed human beings evolved from other lower life forms. He asserted that human beings had changed to survive their environment. This idea is also known as the Survival of the Fittest.

The religious counter to Darwin’s theory is the idea of creation; that God created human beings in his likeness.

According to a recent Gallup poll, there are three camps Americans generally fall in when it comes to expressing their views on creation:

1) 42 percent believe that God created human beings in their present form.

2) 31 percent believe mankind evolved, but with God guiding the process.

3) 19 percent believe humans evolved without the Lord’s guidance.

So, 73 percent of the nation believe God played a role in creation.

The conflict between science and faith has been going on for centuries. It especially heated up since Darwin’s theory was first published in 1859. This conflict has increased throughout the 20^th and 21^st centuries, as science has become more accepted throughout the world.

This film deals with this conflict in the present day, and looks at the experiences of young people, entering college, that find their faith challenged by gaining an education. In some cases, their parents view their education as a threat to their faith. These young people find themselves caught in the middle of this complicated conflict.

Perhaps you have had a similar experience, or know somebody who has? What do you feel about the ideas shown in the film? Do you struggle with these issues?

I realize this can be a sensitive subject for people, so please rest assured that your submission will only be seen by me, and the other students in the class will not have access to it.

This assignment is a personal reflection that will not be shared with anyone. If you disagree with any of it, that certainly is your right. But give me some valid reasons WHY you disagree! 

PLEASE!!! Do not simply retell me the story; I already know it very well. Tell me how the film influenced YOU! Was there information that you learned that you did not previously know? Did the film tell a different story than the one you learned in high school?

How did this film affect you emotionally AND intellectually?

Your paper needs to EXCEED 2 pages!! One and 7/8 pages will be considered short of the minimum.

Questions? Refer to the instructions entitled “What is a Film Reflection?”

The paper is due by midnight, Monday, 3-16-20. It can be turned in electronically from the Assignments link.
