Research Question:
What evidence is there to support that Earth was formed by an explosion that happened in outer space?
Precise Claim:
Evidence shows Earth was formed due to a large explosion in outer space.
Reasons/Blueprint:
Scientists have continued to find evidence to support this theory. There have been math equations to prove this theory; to prove space is expanding.
Draft Thesis Statement:
There are two main theories on how the world was created: Intelligent design and the big bang, however scientific evidence continues to show that the Big Bang is the most promising theory on how our universe came to be.

RJA #9: Evaluation of Sources
Looking at all of my sources, I find that some of the most useful ones include videos I found at Videosurf.com (search documentaries on the big bang theory.) I find this helpful because There are many scientists and astrophysicists talking about it who know a lot about the theory.
Umich.edu is another valuable and useful source.It is a large article written by scientists (with references of many other scientists and relavant books.)
There is a book I am looking at reading call "The Big Bang" by Paul Fleisher that has tons of good information on how they came about the theory of the big bang, and why they feel it is a reliable source of how the world began.
There is a periodical article at http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/big-bang_theory.aspx that too has reliable sources to use for my paper.
A text in http://ssscott.tripod.com/BigBang.html is useful. There are pictures and diagrams and many sources of information supported by some respected scientists. What I have read appears to be relavant and reliable.
The other resource I found most useful is called All About Science. This article i found at http://www.big-bang-theory.com/ The sources that created this article were all non-fiction books, and documentaries on my subject. The article is not that long, but breaks the theory down by it's main points.
I have many other sources I will be looking at when writing my paper, which you can find in my blog. however, these were the sources i found to be the best.

RJA #8c: Multimedia
I went to videosurf.com and searched "documentary on the big bang theory" and got 87 hits!! there are tons of videos on intelligent design vs. The big bang theory. This will be very useful!! I'm going to make a day to watch these videos. great site! Relavance on a scale of 1-5 would probably be a 5.
RJA #8b: Social Media
Using technorati.com, I found a really neat article. I got there by going to technorati.com, and searched "big bang theory."There were 22 hits (blogs having to do with my subject.) Honestly there were not a whole lot of blogs about the actual big bang. Some had to do with the tv show. Relevance would probably be a 2.5 and a 1-5 scale. I also went to addictomatic and tried many different stratagies. I tried "Big bang theory" Big Bang theory -cbs -episodes -charlie sheen, and I didn't find anything on it.

RJA #8a: Websites
As a search engine, I used fazzle.com. I just simply typed in "big bang theory" and there were 14,800,000 hits. I found a new site I haven't seen for my topic before. it's an article on encarta.msn.com. The site is very helpful, and I will definately use it when writing my paper.
For multi search engines, i used info.com, and typed in Big Bang Theory -cbs -charlie sheen, and I found what I think is a very useful site through pbs.org. I bookmarked this in my delicious account. i also found a video that was rather interesting on youtube. Also using info.com, I came across an open letter to the scientific community. it wasn't too helpful, but there are some fun facts to use for my paper. I still posted it as a bookmark in my delicious account.
I went to the librians internet index to further search for information on my subject. I found a very interesting article I can use about a scientist who has a different theory on how the universe originated. Then I found a really neat webisite (http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/gr/public/bb_home.html) which is about cosmology. there are different links you can click on for different brtanches of cosmology. it will be very useful.
I clicked on complete planet for invisible web search tools. However I really couldnt find any useful infor mation on my subject. With all of thease sites, I always go to science, then to astronomy, then to cosmology, and usually there are sites leading me to my subject, but this internet tool really didn't have much to offer me.
