Dr. Kurt Wise designed this unique class to fully integrate a Christian worldview with the biological sciences. The result is a completely new way to approach biology. He has taught this class for over a decade to high school and college students, and is now making it available for the first time in video format.

One of the many interesting things about the class is how Dr. Wise starts with our understanding of who God is, then shows how God has created the living world to reflect His unique attributes in His creation. He explains a fascinating array of subjects from a creationist perspective, including the nature of life, Biblical kinds, biosystems, biodiversity, cell theory, the history of life, and much, much more.

The class includes:

  • 67 in-depth video lectures
  • Textbook PDF (Printed version available)
  • Lab manual PDF (Printed version available)
  • 13 Lab Instructional Videos – Lab Materials Available Here

This class is good for one full credit for a high school lab science.
