Ive learned about three theories 1 of how the universe was created and 2 of how our world began:
 * the big bang theory
 * theories of creation science in the bible from the book of genesis
 * evolution

The big bang theory is the theory that says that a primeval atom whose density was about 2 billion tons per cubic inch 20 to 60 billion years ago. Its matter turned into hot, rapidly expanding gas, and stayed like that until about 9 billion years ago. Then the gas began to condense into the billions of galaxies, each containing billions of stars, that make up the present-day universe. Religion does not deny that the Big Bang took place but, they do believe that god caused the Big Bang. They don't say how god created the universe they just belive he did.

The creation story in the bible in the book of Genesis says that God created the universe and all life forms. The story of the creation of the universe and all beings on this planet consists of seven days. On the first day god created

I found out a little about the evolutionary theory. Its the theory that believs we've evolved from someting else. This theory is based on genetics. Explaining genetics is whats hard about proving this theory is true. Its based on the interaction of four natural phenomena: mutation, natural selection, gene flow, and genetic drift

http://www.religioustolerance.org/evolutio.htm On this website there are many links on all different types of stories about theories of how the world was created. I also found links that compare the Bible's creation stories to modern day science. I found this information very useful. Honestly i think this website would be useful if you're looking for information on subjects that have to do with a religion. The author of this website, Bruce A. Robinson, started religious tolerance.org because as a teen he was interested in religion, and as he got older, he believed that much of the hatred in the world was because of religious intolerance. This author does not have a degree in science or religion, which is bad and good, because although he hasn't gotten a degree in these subjects, he is also non-biased.

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,894050,00.html This website has a lot of articles on different topics and entertainment that us modern day people would consider useful. __www.time.com__ is the official website for Time magazine. This website has a variety of topics like: buisness & tech, health & science, U.S., world, and entertainment. You can even find a link to different blogs. Time.com is also in partnership with the news station cnn. I would trust the information on this website because I myself have read some of the time magazines and have found the articles interesting and very informative. Some of the articles on this website are a little difficult to read so I wuldnt suggest this article to kids.

http://www.bibarch.com/concepts/Origins/creation.htm This website is about biblical archaeology. The founder of this website is Gregory D. Kurzawa. Gregory started this website in 1996 as an undergraduate for a class project and since than people have taken it and inproved it untill they finally published it in 1997. This website dosent give you exact information on who are the people who write these articles and if they have degrees in these subjects.
