This course will explain some of the basic concepts supporting the harmony between Genesis 1 and modern science. By focusing on how this first chapter of Genesis harmonizes with modern science, we can appreciate how only the true Creator of this universe could have provided the content of Genesis 1.
This course assumes some familiarity with basic scientific concepts. This basic course goes into more detail than the Picture Book introductions. We still utilize pictures throughout this course because they can make it easier at times to grasp the context of what is being described. But we also provide more in-depth descriptions as pertains to the Hebrew used in Genesis 1 and also provide references to the scientific literature to back up the assertions made in the scientific explanations.
The second lesson in this course (Categorizing Genesis 1) breaks down the verses of Genesis 1 into separate passages and categorizes each passage in one of three groups – CREATOR, SCIENCE, and METAPHOR. Since this course is primarily about Genesis 1 and science, in this course we focus primarily on the passages that are labeled with SCIENCE.
