Creationism - Advanced

Overview

While the basic Creationism honor provided the basics necessary to understand and defend your belief in God’s special creation, this honor pushes you to deeply study, and encounter specific aspects of the creationism debate. You’ll even get a chance to be part of a debate against the theories considered fact by many. This honor is set to empower and inform the High School, college, or graduate learner who needs to know why Creationism makes sense in a post-religious world.
