Week 4 - Evolution vs. Creationism (research assignment topic draft)

This week I was able to hone in on my topic and extract some questions for this stage. So far I am feeling good about what I currently have. Hopefully I can stick to these questions and methods. 

My primary question is: 

-How does theism and atheism influence one's outlook on existence?

My sub questions are: 

- What are people's perceptions of their beliefs? 

- Are we judged through our faith or lack of faith?

I am planning to employ two methods into my research, one of which is interviews, and the other is surveys. I have a few interviewees in mind, which fall under the individuals I am focussing on - Young adults, mature adults, atheists, and theists. 

Some key words that link to my research topic are: Beliefs, Knowledge, Circumstances, Difficulties, Influences, Worldview

Worldview is a very important key term within my research. When referencing this notion, it is primarily talking about how one perceives the world through their religious or scientific beliefs. This can encompass the idea of the reasons or constraints for peoples' decisions based on how they can make sense of the world, through questioning and reasoning. 

To me, this image depicts a material world created by our thoughts. This relates to my topic because truth is subjective to the individual and one will view our world differently to another, based on how they understand our existence.
