For the field research portion of my project, there are one or possibly two people I am interviewing. One person, who's name I will keep annonomys, is very knowledgable on intelligent design. The other who I am not sure I will be able to get a hold of, is an astrophysist. The first person, i would ask how the world was created in seven days. What were the steps that were taken so told in the bible. What evidence is there to show this theory is believable. Were the seven days a 24-hour period such as our time now, or were they longer days or shorter?
Granted I get ahold of the astrophysist, I would ask him what evidence there is to support the big bang. What kind of scientific evidence keeps showing to continue to prove this theory? How can it be that a rock or an atom, or a cell can show so much about how the earth was formed this way? When was this theory thought up, and how did it come about?
I think i also Might look up different exhibits at the museum to see if there is anything on the Big Bang. If so, i plan to take a visit to the museum to see what information it has to offer to me for my project.

RJA #7b: Internet Research Tool Test
I was assigned to learn about metacca.com. The first thing I did was simply research "Big bang theory" In the "Search" line. The T.v. show always comes up when I search for the Big Bang Theory, so I have to change my search a bit. I went to advanced search and typed ""Big Bang Theory", -cbs -charlie -sheen -tv show +Big +Bang+ theory." When i clicked "search" this time, I had great results for my topic.
key words for this topic are "big" and "bang" i have learned that anytime I am searching for this subject, I always have to use my operators to better guide me to what I am looking for. if I only search "Big Bang Theory" I end up with a lot of sites that have to do with the television show starring Charlie Sheen.
I like this site, because it hits a lot of popular sites that I search at once. (I.e. Google, Yahoo)
I started Exploring Metacca.com, and There is an "Images" button to search. I typed in "Crop circles" and when I hit search, a lot of pictures with crop circles came up.
So then I got curious and exited out of the site and went back into it. I re-typed in "cropcircles" in the search key when it was set to web. Tons of site came up on crop circles. So then without typing anything, I clicked "images" and the images of crop cirlces came up. Then I hit "news" and articles came up, and so on and so forth. There were even videos of weird paranormal activity regarding crop circles.

RJA #7a: Internet Research Tools
When I research, there are very few search engines i use. Ofcoarse I like to use google. Usually I go into the advanced search. I like that there are always a ton of sites brought up about a subject when I search for it. I don't like how sometimes the results sometimes are irrelevant to the subject I'm searching for. I also use yahoo sometimes as well as bing, but they are pretty much the same as google.

RJA #5a: Reference Articles
http://www.infoplease.com/cig/theories-universe/plasma-cosmology.html-
-at infoplease.com type in "cosmology" in the search and there are many sites that come up for my subject. I have bookmarked it in my delicious account.
The test of any scientific theory is based upon the relationship between its predictions and observations. The Big bang predicts that there should be no object older than 20 billion years and larger than 150 million light years across. Many cosmologists think that nearly 99 percent of the universe is unobservable and made of dark matter. The universe we do see, the stars, galaxies, and literally everything else, only constitutes about 1 or 2 percent of the total amount of matter in the universe.

Cosmology- The theory that the unicerse originated sometime between 10 billion and 20 billion years ago from the cataclysmic explosion of a small volume of matter at extremely high density and temperature.
