Age: 14+ High School 1 Full Credit
In this exceptional class, Dr. Kurt Wise explores how God created the living world to reflect His unique attributes throughout creation. Dr. Wise explains a fascinating array of subjects from a creationist perspective, including the nature of life, animal kinds, cell biology, biosystems, and much more.
Devotional Biology is an amazing opportunity to learn high school biology from one of the top creation scientists in the world. Dr. Kurt Wise designed this unique class to fully integrate a Christian worldview with the biological sciences. The result is a completely new way to approach biology.
A few of the unique aspects include:
- Provides a thoroughly Christian view of science, building from basic principles to a complete view of life sciences.
- Shows how concepts such as “created kinds,” “divine beauty,” and “Biblical stewardship” are essential parts of biology.
- Prepares students to understand how God’s creation is uniquely designed to support all the complexities of life.
