This unique course helps to to defend their faith through science! In Life Science: Origins & Scientific Theory from Master Books high school students review the evidence, follow the science, examine both the creation and evolutionary arguments, as they come to understand for themselves the origin of life. Unlike many other evolution vs creation books out there, the books used as the core texts in this course were written by a gentleman who spent 30 years in a challenge to prove evolution. Yet the more he learned, the more the truth of God’s Word became apparent in the evidence he found ! Upon completion of this course, students will have a thorough understanding of the theory of evolution and its limits. They will also develop their critical thinking skills through careful analysis of evidence and comparing the merits of different theories. Along the way, they will learn more about paleontology, biology, and geology as they relate to the study of origins through an exploration of living fossils. Required for the one-year high school credit is the Teacher Guide, Evolution the Grand Experiment, and Living Fossils. The Teacher Guide includes the lesson schedule, worksheets and quizzes/tests, and answer keys. Lessons will take 30-45 minutes per day; 5 days per week. Student worksheets and quizzes/tests are reproducible for your family. No Labs are included.
