Overview
For Grade Level 9-12
Overview: This Life Science: Origins & Scientific Theory Teacher Guide contains materials for use with Evolution: The Grand Experiment Vol. 1 and Living Fossils. By developing a deeper understanding of these concepts, students will be able to develop and support a strong worldview.
Course Description: This course is intended to help a student assess information about evolution and creation, and based on the information provided for each, form his or her own understanding of this issue. The author spent 30 years in a challenge to prove evolution, yet the more he learned, the more the truth of God’s Word became apparent in the evidence and interviews he found while traveling the world speaking to scholars, and museum officials and viewing artifacts.
Upon completion of this course, students will have a thorough understanding of the theory of evolution and its limits. Students will develop scientific critical thinking skills through careful analysis of evidence and comparing the merits of different theories. Students will study paleontology, biology, and geology as they relate to the study of origins through an exploration of living fossils.

More Information
Chapter Discussion Question: Teachers are encouraged to participate with the student as they complete the discussion questions. The purpose of the Chapter Purpose section is to introduce the chapter to the student. The Discussion Questions are meant to be thought-provoking. The student may not know the answers but should answer with their, thoughts, ideas, and knowledge of the subject using sound reasoning and logic. They should study the answers and compare them with their own thoughts. We recommend the teacher discuss the questions, the student’s answers, and the correct answers with the student. This section should not be used for grading purposes.
Chapter Worksheets: The worksheets are foundational to helping the student learn the material and come to a deeper understanding of the concepts presented. Often, the student will compare what we should find in the fossil record and in living creatures if evolution were true with what we actually find. This comparison clearly shows evolution is an empty theory simply based on the evidence. God’s Word can be trusted and displayed both in the fossil record and in living creatures.
Tests and Exams: There is a test for each chapter, sectional exams, and a comprehensive final exam for each book.
Optional DVDs: There are two DVDs that can be purchased separately that can enhance the course but are not required.
- Evolution: The Grand Experiment Episode 1 DVD was filmed in 3 continents and seven countries over a 12-year period, the DVD series has highlights from 12 dig sites, 60 museums, and many universities and explores many misleading museum displays, science magazine articles, and television documentaries including "dinosaurs with feathers," "walking whales," "flying dinosaurs."
- Living Fossils Episdoe 2 DVD was filmed over 13 years on three continents and eight countries including many active dinosaur dig sites, museums and universities. It explores questions like "Did dinosaurs live with modern plants thousands of years ago, as the story of creation suggests?" or "Did dinosaurs live at a remote time, millions of years ago, with other extinct, strange, and unusual animals, as the theory of evolution suggests?"
Customer Reviews
Life science origins and theory is SUCH a great course! My kiddo did this for 9th grade science and was fascinated at all the ways the world has lied to us about creation. The set begins with the grand experiment and then living fossils and if you purchase the set, it also comes with 2 dvds to go along with each book. The book covers some challenging concepts and can be a little harder for some, but in my opinion it is a must for any christian going out into the world. I am very happy that it was included in the grade 12 basic set, because it is now required in our home for high school. At which grade each of my children will take it will be dependent on their skills interest and abilities but I think it is truly a vital course so that our children can be able to argue against specific claims and theories that are and were taught to us all.
The tests and exams are more of the traditional fill in the blank. All answers are in the back of the TG in order of worksheets, tests, and exams per text book.
Like other Master Books courses, it is open and go with the suggested schedule. There is some teaching helps at the beginning of the teacher guide, I personally would have preferred a bit more instruction, but it does not deter from using this course and grading it.
A fantastic course that I am glad I get to do it with each of my kids.
