Part 3: Some Scientific Explorations

APA forma

Your final task here will be to investigate various scientific ideas on how life could have arisen from non-life. For the sake of consistency and readability, we will read popular science articles (like the Christian science articles) and not that actual papers themselves.

• Choose one: https://www.quantamagazine.org/a-new-thermodynamic… or http://www.timesofisrael.com/meet-the-orthodox-jew…

In each of these 3 articles answer each of the following:

1. What is your first reaction after reading the article?

2. How does the article characterize science and/or scientists?

3. If you were the one who has spent perhaps your entire life working on this one idea, how would you react to how the article characterizes your work?

4. What target audience does the paper seem written for?

5. If you were not a Christian, how would you react to the article?
