This high school level science course will provide the opportunity for your student to explore the answers to some very hard questions Christians have to face in our secular society today. They will be prepared to protect and defend their faith against controversial issues pertaining to science and the Bible that face while pursuing higher education. Students will use a compilation of articles to become familiar with material in preparation for viewing the class. It is our prayer that this course will build your students' faith as well equip them to better share their faith with others.
If your student completes the assigned work to your satisfaction, 1/2 of a Science credit may be awarded.
