An obvious contrast to Jonathan Edwards, 20th Century essayist and notable atheist Christopher Hitchens, has written an article on why he believes science and religion contradict each other.
Your task is not to agree or disagree with Hitchens. Your task is to evaluate the argument presented by Hitchens and determine if it is presented effectively.
For Tuesday/Wednesday: Read the attached PDF and complete a thorough SOAPSTone on the Hitchens essay. Your last SOAPSTones were graded rather lightly so be sure to expand on tone and author's purpose as much as possible. I am expecting students to progress in terms of quality of work.
Also: Part of APLAC is evaluating visual materials. I specifically chose the above photo of Christopher Hitchens. What might my motives be for choosing this photo over others widely available? What conclusions can you make about Hitchens based on this photo?
