I'm Etalie, I'm currently studying for my AS levels and will (hopefully) be posting revision entries on psychology and sociology.
I previously uploaded posts on GCSE revision. If it helps you then great! But I'm not an expert on anything AT ALL so don't rely on everything I post.
(Also, I'm not taking credit for any of the pictures or info here, it's all off google images, notes from BBC bitesize and CGP revision guides, textbooks etc)

(NB - GCSE: italics in the science subjects are things that are only in paper 2!)

RELIGION AND LIFE 

1 - BELIEVING IN GOD 

Scientific explanations of world - 
  • Matter is eternal 
  • 15 billion years ago - matter of universe exploded (Big Bang Theory), red shift in light from other galaxies is evidence the universe is still expanding 
  • Stars and our solar system formed by matter flying away from explosion 
  • Gases on Earth's surface produced primitive life 
  • Genetic structure of primitive life forms lead to evolution of new life forms (fossil evidence)
How it may lead to agnosticism/atheism -
  • Science explains it without God - no longer need God to explain why we're here 
  • If God created the world, he must be the only explanation for it (science says otherwise) 
Religious responses (Christian) -

1 - Scientific explanations are true and prove God created universe
  • Only God could've made the Big Bang at exactly the right time 
  • Laws (such as gravity) could only have been made by God - needed for Big Bang to form solar systems 
  • Only God could have made gases on Earth react so they form life 
 2 - Evidence for Big Bang can be explained by the Bible (creationism)
  • Noah's flood 
  • Apparent Age theory - when Adam was created (Earth was 6 days old), would've looked billions of years old because of how God created it 
 3 - Science and Bible are correct
  • Main points of Bible fit with science
  • One of God's days could be millions of years
