Journal 3

1) What words and or images come to mind when you hear the word Jesus.

The first thing to come to my mind when i here the word Jesus is passion because Jesus had so much passion for all of us and gave us a reason to be on earth as Jesus put us before his life and he died for us because of his great courage and wisdom that God had given him.

2) Why might it be important for young people to identify with an image of Jesus?

It is important because Jesus is our God and saviour and if jesus was not on this earth none of us would be here and to have a good time you need strong faith and belief and that is to love and obey your Lord.

In my life when i am praying i reflect and think of what Jesus went through for us and the great things he done and i try to make them real so maybe one day i can follow Jesus’ foot steps and help the poor or sick.

Own Theorie of the Origin of the Universe 27/05/08

My theory on how the universe is created has an opinion from both religious and science point of views. I think God created the universe and one theory could be that God created the big bang which scientists believe created the universe.

Questions pg 75-76 26/05/08

1. The old universe is thought to be known as the big bang theory where the universe exploded from all directions from a single point called a singularity.

2. 14 billion years after the big bang is the time when our solar system was created.

3. Because if there was no more matter left the universe could not be created as it was the building blocks for the universe.

4. Quarks bunched into groups of three to create protons and neutrons.

5. a) 77% hydrogen

b) Cause there are many forms of hydrogen and it is the simplest form.

6.  A proton is what is in the nucleus of the hydrogen.

7. Because there was a lot of energy in the form of radiation such as x-rays and light.

8. About 300 000 years after the big bang the universe continued to expand however, the temperature dropped to 3000 degrees celcius there for electrons started reducing speed as a result of hydrogen and helium nuclei to form new types of atoms or elements. As more and more particles combined to form new elements the fog cleared.

9. They collected background radiation left over from the very beginning of the universe.

10. Cosmic Background Explorer.

11. Galaxies and stars are formed from clouds of gas about a billion years after the big bang which are made of helium and hydrogen.

12. Baby planets become larger by attracting matter which increases the size.

13. OPEN UNIVERSE, CLOSED UNIVERSE, FLAT UNIVERSE and ACCELERATING UNIVERSE.

14. I think the Flat universe is most correct.

Individual Assessment Task 4

1.) Give a brief description of who the Dalai Lama is? (Include resources to support)

The Dalai Lama is the Tibetan leader who teachers the people of Tibet how to live a good life and how to respect others. He is a spiritual leader as he does not want violence as he has come out and said that he will step down if the violence continues.

some sources of information are :

http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,23398359-5001028,00.html?from=public_rss

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,,23399869-2702,00.html?from=public_rss

2.) Evaluate how the actions of the Dalai Lama in regard to the riots in Tibet would be regarded as exemplary moral integrity.

The reason this action by the Dalai Lama leader is regarded as moral integrity is because he has stood down from his leading position of the people of Tibet. This was a brave decision by the Dalai Lama leader as he has stopped deaths and riots in Tibet. This is a true meaning of moral integrity giving up what you enjoy so much for the lives of others.
