Almost all of tis really enjoy what we do and believe that our 1work in communicating the excitement of astronomy and other sciences is important. Planetarium people are chronically underbudgeted 'and overworked, but we havethe opportunity to be scientist, teacher, actor, magician, and general ham to hundreds if not thousands of people a year. One of the few fundamental dilemmas we seem to have is trying to bal- anceeducationwithentertainment.Debate about where the balance point should ccur has been going on since the first planetarium program. Some school shows have been criticized as being too dull (all education) While some big planetariuma-tave been accused of presenting flashy programs with. no sub.: stance (light shows that are all entertainment). o This workshop has been developed by the autholi and their many colla- borators as a tool for enhancing planetarium educationandentertainment for any audience and any occasion. Over the past SeVeral \years we have found stra- tegies for making science content more entertaining and simultaneously more *meaningful to geneKal audiences.These strategies include lechniques for selecting and Tau ing content and for actively involving the visitors in the planetarium iiiograrn.We. welcome your 'comments on these strategies, and your suggestions for improvements. If you have access to a planetatium and are interested in learning more about kw .to use it to promote Science learning, this_workshop, is addreisted to Y911, ThePlanetarium Edueator's Workshop GUideis intended to be used by any group of planetarium educators who want to get together to experiment with new techniques. This group of educators may be the staff of a single Plane- tarium, attendees at'a planetarium association meeting, a few elementary school teachers who have access to a school planetariuM, or College instructors who have decided to clean the cobwebs off the campus planetarium projector. While an individual planetarium instructor may find tIO Guide useful, it isdesign6dlci be most. effective (and most enjoyable) for a group of people who are willing to spend a few hours Sharing ideas and challenging each other's assumptions.

  • A Christian Physicist Examines the Big Bang Theory
    A Christian Physicist Examines the Big Bang Theory by Steven Ball, Ph.D. September 2003 Dedication I dedicate this work to my physics professor, William Graziano, who first showed me that the universe is orderly and comprehensible, and stirred a passion in me to pursue the very limits of it. Cover picture of the Egg Nebula, taken by Hubble Space Telescope, courtesy NASA, copyright free 1 Introduction This booklet is a follow-up to the similar previous booklet, A Christian Physicist Examines the Age of the Earth. In that booklet I discussed reasons for the controversy over this issue and how these can be resolved. I also drew from a number of fields of science, ranging from the earth’s geology to cosmology, to show that the scientific evidence clearly favors an age of 4.6 billion years for the Earth and about 14 billion years for the universe. I know that the Big Bang Theory of cosmology is not so readily accepted in some Christian groups, precisely because it points to an older universe. But I appealed to reason and the apparent agreement with the scriptures [1] when considering the evidence. However, in an attempt to preserve a continuity of discussion, that booklet only briefly covers some of the scientific evidence supporting the Big Bang theory, and the following discussion of scriptural references did not emphasize any relevance to the Big Bang. There was much more to write on these, but it did not seem to fit well with the discussion on the age of the Earth. However, since I asked the reader to reason with me, it didn’t seem quite fair on my part to cut short the explanations.
