O ensino de geografia e a bíblia: o criacionismo na perspectiva do conhecimento geográfico

Abstract

The evolution of the Universe and the formation of the planet Earth are subjects treated in the teaching of geography in the sixth year of Elementary School and in the first year of High School. As a suggestion, this work proposes to articulate the scientific theories regarding these themes and the biblical account of creation, considering that Brazil still remains a predominantly Christian country, although other beliefs are practiced freely, without objections. In order to make geography classes more interesting, the teacher must master the content in his classes. Therefore, this work aims to contribute to the proposed suggestion, examining the successive stages of the Creation of the heavens and the Earth according to the Bible to work in Geography classes, reviewing the succession of events in the formation of heaven and Earth in the book of Genesis and the theories most accepted by the scientific community, through bibliographic research. As a result, it was possible to work on the subjects synchronously and even in an interdisciplinary way, with the support of teachers of Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Religious Education. Key words: Teaching Geography; Bible; Scientific Theories.
