This document provides instructions for a student to create a 14 slide presentation on the origins of the universe. The presentation is divided into three sections worth different percentages of the total grade. The first section is on the creation account in Genesis 1-2 and is worth 25% of the grade. The second section is about the student's personal beliefs regarding the origins of the universe, worth another 25% of the grade. The third section is on how the student's beliefs impact their worldview and is worth 30% of the grade. For each section, the student is instructed to include main points on the slides and elaborate in the notes, including citations when appropriate. A final reference slide lists the sources used.

You can format these slides however you like as long as they
include the required content. You may use any colors or images
for the slide backgrounds and fonts as long as they are readable
for a group presentation.
The first slide should be a title slide. Include the same
information that you would include in the heading on a paper -
your name, the date, the course, and the instructor’s name.
Delete these instructions on each slide and replace them with
detailed notes, showing what you would say if you were giving
the presentation to a live audience.

References
List two to four references. Prepare these references according
to the guidelines found in the Student Success Center. Include
the permalink for the GCU Library sources used.
The last slide (#15) should be a reference slide. Format the
references the same as you would format them for a paper. Here
are samples of references for you. Be sure that you only use
scholarly sources for your presentation.
All sources used for both content and images should be cited
with in-text citations and a reference.
The only exception is the Bible. Content from the Bible should
be documented with in-text citations (John 3:16 ESV), but not
included on the reference slide.
Delete the reference statement and add your references.
