Version 1.3 August 2015Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (Previous
Version)
These are the questions we ask in the introduction (Section 0.1.6 –
paragraph 9):
If god did not make them, where did the sun, the moon and
the earth come from? How come we have day and night, tides, months, seasons,
years, continents and seas, wind and rain, drought and dust?
We may refine these as we develop this Chapter.
This chapter covers how the solar system was made and how
the earth formed (geology), in just enough detail so that we can work out what
to believe and why, so that we can decide what to do, in our day to day life,
and in the big decisions of life.
We plan to look at how we know what we know under the
following topic headings. For now, we have indicated below the questions we
intend to address and the main topics we intend to cover.
|
1. The Solar System:
|
Where did the Sun and the
Earth come from?
|
|
2. Inner and Outer Planets:
|
What kinds of planets are
there?
|
Is it
reasonable to break down this area into these topics at this level?
Click on
feedback, or add a comment below, to tell us if you agree or disagree, or
suggest improvements.

|
3. The Moon:
|
Where did the moon come from?
|
|
4. Earth’s Structure:
|
How did Earth’s surface form?
|
|
5. Atmospheres:
|
How did we get our atmosphere?
|
|
6. Oceans:
|
How did the oceans and seas
arise?
|
|
7. Continents:
|
How do mountains form?
|
|
8. Terrestrial Forces:
|
Why do we still have
volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis?
|
|
|
9. Seasons and Tides:
|
Why do we have tides and
seasons?
|
|
|
10. Weather and Climate:
|
What makes the wind and rain,
droughts and floods?
|
|
|
11. Long Cycles:
|
What are the long term cycles
that affect us now?
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the current summary of our conclusions in this
area:
Our Sun and its planets – including
Earth – and the Moon developed from clouds of gas and dust left over after
other stars exploded, and now we can explain night and day, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, mountains, the air,
winds, rain, rivers, oceans, continents, tides, seasons, weather and different
climates.

The detailed sections explain how we
justify these conclusions.

We
need help (obviously).
1. We need constructive feedback from
readers, whether positive or negative. Use the comments section on each
web page.
2. We need help with writing,
especially Parts 2, 3, 4 and 5, especially from non-Anglos, on
● the
science of our origins and human nature,
● long
term global history,
● identifying
the good and bad of indigenous religions, the major traditional world
religions, and modern responses to religion, and
● a
world-wide perspective on art and culture and the media.
3. We need help to translate into other
languages. We can do a first draft translation using eg Google Translate,
but that needs to be checked and refined.
4. We need administrative help to
establish and run local branches of a Reasonable Global Way: eg Reasonable Way Melbourne, or Reasonable
Way New York!
5. We need technical help, to maintain and
enhance the web site, for marketing and promotion, for legal matters, and to
develop educational resources.
6. We need funding, to provide an
ongoing revenue stream to maintain the organisation and its assets, and support
the activities noted above.

menu) to send email.
