In an effort to encourage collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking, each week you will be responsible to write one new blog post and to respond to one blog post from your classmates. In order to hold you accountable, you will be graded on these posts!
If there is a prompt on the blog, you will be required to respond to that particular prompt in your post (the prompt could be a video, article, question, cartoon etc.). If there is no prompt, you can be creative in your post and can bring in your own thoughts or resources concerning the topic that we are studying during that particular week.
I look forward to using this blog as a means to share ideas and reflections as we embark on our study of Chumash.
Because I can't post a new thread, I'll just post it here.
ReplyDeleteIn History, we're learning about the theory of evolution. This is the story of how the modern day human evolved from an ape. How can this be when we are learning in class that when Hashem created the world he created man as he is today?
So, my theory is that evolution is completely false. I have no way to prove this, but I know that we can only find what Hashem wants us to find. If He didn't want us to find the ancient underdeveloped skeletons, we wouldn't have.
I think that this teaches us all a lesson. Hashem wants so badly to show us that we have free will. This is one of the hardest concepts to grasp, so He uses concepts we understand to show us that yes, we do have free will.
Have you ever thought about why Hashem allows us to create different theories about religion and creation? I think this is so we will realize we do have a choice in the matter, and in doing so will come to Him.
