Geology

A set of blogs by a Christian Ph.D. candidate in geoscience who seeks to especially address the fallacies that are put forth by young earth creationists in the area of the geosciences.

In 6 episodes, Emily Graslie continues telling you the story of “life, the universe, and everything” in Big History 2! This course challenges you to ask “why this stuff matters” and is based on the Big History Project social studies curriculum. By the end of this course, you will be able to:

•Integrate physics, math, history, and more to tell a single story about people, civilizations, and how we are connected to everything around us
•Zoom out to pose and refine scientific and historical questions
•Outline the most powerful and important breakthroughs
•Evaluate how we know what we know and why we’re sure we know it
•Relate topics in Big History to contemporary humans and describe why they matter in our daily lives

The Big History project is now a part of the OER project (Open Educational Resources).

In 10 episodes John Green, Hank Green, and Emily Graslie teach you about, well, everything. It’s Big History! This course will take you on a whirlwind journey from the creation to the death of the universe and is based on the Big History Project social studies curriculum. By the end of this course, you will be able to:

•Integrate physics, math, history, and more to tell a single story about people, civilizations, and how we are connected to everything around us
•Zoom out to pose and refine scientific and historical questions
•Contextualize the tremendous scale of existence
•Outline the most powerful and important breakthroughs
•Evaluate how we know what we know and why we’re sure we know it

Series of up-to-date blogs by a teacher in the area of earth sciences and geology. The primary objective of the website is to increase science literacy in the Evangelical Christian community.

Reasons to Believe (RTB) was established in 1986 by world-renowned Christian astrophysicist, Dr. Hugh Ross. Initially a skeptic, Dr. Ross was later convinced by evidence that words of the Bible are trustworthy.

His search for truth began at age seven when he went to the library to find out why stars are hot. Physics and astronomy captured his curiosity and never let go. After completing his doctorate at the University of Toronto and postdoctoral research at the California Institute of Technology, Ross served on the ministry team at Christ Church Sierra Madre. Enthusiastic response to his scientific defense Scripture’s veracity—based on a breadth and depth of experience in both science and faith—drove him, in 1986, to launch Reasons to Believe.

From a tiny office in Sierra Madre, CA, and a small crew of volunteers, RTB quickly grew. In 1995 RTB unveiled the first Christian website which by now has expanded into a wellspring of articles, blogs, and videos.

Website from a group of Ph.D. speakers whose “desire is to remove obstacles to faith, and renew Christians’ ability to marvel and delight in the discoveries God is revealing in nature”. They provide lectures to various groups from an old earth perspective.

Written by a Christian geophysicist who realized that old earth creationism was a much better match for the science of geophysics than was young earth creationism. He then found new perspectives on the Bible which were in actual harmony with the science. His website explains many of his findings along these lines.
