Fall Schedule

September 14th:
Unlocking the Mystery of Life: Origin
Multiple Instructors
Unlocking the Mystery of Life: Origin transcends science to touch the heart and mind of anyone who has ever pondered the deepest mystery of the human experience: Where did we come from and why are we here? Presented in partnership with the John 10:10 Project and Illustra media, Origin challenges the popular idea that life is the product of blind, undirected processes. Discover how our remarkable world actually points to an intelligent mind and learn the flaws of materialistic theories devoid of evidence.
 
September 21st:
The Case for a Creator
Multiple Instructors
Lee Strobel, an award-winning journalist and a lifelong agnostic, set out to prove that there is no God, but his extensive research led to a conclusion he never anticipated. In this powerful film adaptation of his New York Times best-selling book, The Case for a Creator, Strobel guides you through some of the greatest discoveries—and common misconceptions—in the history of astronomy, cosmology, physics, biology, and geology. Weigh the evidence for yourself. Then consider this question: Could it be that the universe looks designed because it is?

September 28th:
Are Science and Faith Compatible?
Instructor: Tim Barnett
"All Scientists Should Be Militant Atheists." That was the headline in The New Yorker a few years ago. The article claimed that science "draws people away from religion." Many people have bought into this idea. But is this true? Are science and faith incompatible? In this course, Tim explores how a proper understanding of faith and science are completely compatible. Moreover, it was the Christian convictions of the founders of modern science that led to the birth of modern science. Finally, Tim gives an example of how studying the natural world can draw you to God and strengthen your faith in him.
 
October 5th:
The Problem of Evil
Instructor: Jon Noyes
Behind every worldview there is a frightening reality. We can try to ignore it, but eventually it will surface. It's clear the world is not as it's supposed to be. No worldview is complete, however, until it makes sense of the problem of evil. In fact, this problem is the most persistent challenge to the existence of God. In this course, we'll see the answer isn't found in atheism. It's just the opposite. The answer to the problem of evil lies in whom atheists think the problem cancels out: God.

Five “Easy” Issues—Salvation, Abortion, Gender, Marriage, Sex
Instructor: Greg Koukl
Though the culture may be confused, faithfulness to God for Christians is not theologically complicated. In Five Easy Issues, Greg Koukl gives an easy-to-understand overview of what the Bible says about salvation, abortion, gender, marriage, and sex. While many contemporary Christians embrace ideas at odds with God’s Word, Greg encourages believers by helping them see the clarity of God’s truth regarding these issues so that they can confidently live and courageously share the truth.
