Science and Christianity. Answer from a Christian’s viewpoint
Answer the following 5 questions
Ive included a few videos watched in class for your viewing for questions 2,3,5.
FYI – For questions 1 & 4, The Book used in class is Origins, Christian Perspectives on Creations, Evolution, and Intelligent Design by Deborah B. Haarsma and Loren D. Haarsma. I dont feel the book itself is needed for these questions. There are many other resources addressing these questions on websites and videos. The two authors mentioned are referenced on the internet.
