Your mission is to present or develop an issue in the philosophy of science, and then analyze it in detail with respect to at least two of the theories we have studied; you will be expected to argue for an interesting thesis in the philosophy of science. You must include at least one theory that has been covered since the first paper. A good way to start is to look through the “Big Questions” in the philosophy of science, and then to try develop one of the questions into an interesting philosophical problem. This problem, and its proposed solutions, will comprise the thesis of your paper.

Big question:
Religion used to provide explanations and predictions – tasks which are now taken to be the job of science. Is religion (in its most literal guise) just bad science, or is it not science at all?

This is an argumentative essay where you need to develop a thesis and then propose a solution with the help of an antithesis.

Topics that need to be included:
-Kuhns idea of scientific revolution and paradigm and paradigm shift
-Creationism in general.
The essay need to include proper footnotes of the citations and the book that i will send and text used and should be properly formatted according to apa.
– Make sure that each page starts with stating the main idea followed by explanation or whatever. The thesis for each page should be discussed in the start followed by its explanation.

You can also use outside sources for discussing these arguments. But not all needs to be from outside.
