Origins Assignment
In this assignment you will summarize beliefs about the origin of the universe and life, including what Christians believe, what you believe, and how people's beliefs about origins might impact how they live.
After reflecting on Chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis, create a 15-slide PowerPoint presentation covering the following topics, paying particular emphasis on item three:
Briefly explain the Genesis account of creation (first two chapters). The point is not to retell all aspects of the story in detail but just to make the message of the Bible clear.
Explain and support your interpretation of the origin of the universe. Here you may want to address evolution, age of the earth, and whether or not it can be reconciled with the message of the Bible.
Express how your understanding of the origin of the universe impacts your worldview, specifically your view of God, of humanity, and responsibility to care for the earth.
The first slide will be the title slide including your name and course information. The last slide(s) will be your list of references.

Put basic content on the actual slides and elaborate on all your points in the slide notes.
In an effort to keep the file sizes reasonable, use no more than four low-resolution images. As in all aspects of this course, show respect for all other views, with no condescension. Keep your presentation positive and focused on what you believe, not on what you do not believe.
Use one to three resources, other than the Bible.

Layout
The layout is cluttered, confusing, and does not use spacing,
headings, and subheadings to enhance the readability. The text
is extremely difficult to read with long blocks of text, small
point size for fonts, and inappropriate contrasting colors. Poor
use of headings, subheadings, indentations, or bold formatting
is evident.
The layout shows some structure, but appears cluttered and busy
or distracting with large gaps of white space or a distracting
5. background. Overall readability is difficult due to lengthy
paragraphs, too many different fonts, dark or busy backgrounds,
overuse of bold, or lack of appropriate indentations of text.
The layout uses horizontal and vertical white space
appropriately. Sometimes the fonts are easy to read, but in a few
places the use of fonts, italics, bold, long paragraphs, color, or
busy background detracts and does not enhance readability.
The layout background and text complement each other and
enable the content to be easily read. The fonts are easy to read
and point size varies appropriately for headings and text.
The layout is visually pleasing and contributes to the overall
message with appropriate use of headings, subheadings, and
white space. Text is appropriate in length for the target
audience and to the point. The background and colors enhance
the readability of the text.

construction, word choice, etc.)

and/or word choice are present. The writer exhibits some lack of
control in using figures of speech appropriately.

part.

appropriate vocabulary for the target audience, and uses figures
of speech to communicate clearly.
