APO 203: Creation Apologetics and Geology

Strengthen your walk and deepen your understanding of the integrity and authority of Scripture. No other document in history makes the bold claims the Bible does, and no other document has the integrity of the Bible. This 6-week course will teach you how to defend the biblical account of Creation and the Flood in the area of geology and deepen your commitment to the authority of Scripture.

This course follows the APO 101 Foundations course and is intended to build on the ideas presented in the introductory course. Students will be involved in reading articles, researching issues related to geology from a creationist perspective, watching videos, and completing assignments that uphold the Bible as the ultimate source of truth—even in the field of geology.

See courses available for enrollment.

Describe major differences between Catastrophism and Uniformitarianism.
Describe the layers of the geologic column and the fossils they contain as a result of the original Creation events and the Flood.
Use specific examples of geologic anomalies to discredit Uniformitarianism.
