The Biology of
Creation
Advanced Bio-Logic
Studying God's
World (Science)
in Light of His Word (Scripture)
The Way of Creation:
Sacrificing self for the needs of others. (Ex. =
Christ's Cross)
The Way of Evolution:
Sacrificing others for the desires of self. (Ex.

The beginning curriculum OUTLINES
for Life Science, Biology, and Honors Biology are nearly
identical as we must cover foundational concepts of Logikos,
Scientific Method, Origins, and Classification/Baraminology.
Dramatically different content
breadth and depth are the distinction between the three courses.
As we progress in the year, the general outlines will still be
similar to one another, even similar to first year College
Biology, but the scope of varied subjects covered will differ
along with breadth and depth of content.
Personal Philosophy of Education
(46 pages - long download, Word Doc)
BIO-MATH Synergy:
Please beware of its limitations . . .
In both psychology
and biology, the
non-physical “nephesh/psyche” (soul and its
relationships) cannot be quantified like
tangible, physical variables. Therefore,
understanding the nephesh of a person or an animal
requires intimate, relational knowledge of that
particular species and even more, that individual
creature.
The failure to take this crucial fact into account
has historically led to reductionistic conclusions
resulting in horrors like vivisection, abusive
experimentation, evolutionary racism, and many other
inhumane beliefs and policies.
In
this course, as with Honors Biology, I will help you
master mathematical methods that can be appropriate,
even vital integrations between biology and
mathematics, such as:
* The
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
* Chi-Square Hypothesis Testing
* Genetic Probabilities, especially the improbable belief that mutations
as a mechanism
could produce sufficient new DNA information to produce new
"kinds" of organisms.
* As well as other Bio-math applications
|
* HOMEWORK:
As soon as you are given notes, study
guides, handouts of any kind, you are responsible to set a personal
study schedule and begin studying them ASAP. I recommend you use my
instructions/article on "How and Why to Create a
Condensed Memory OUTLINE".
Please remember, you're not elementary students anymore, so we won't
be spoon-feeding, or given constant teacher-generated busy work to
do at home. Some courses, like Math and Chemistry, require a lot of
"practice" problems homework. In contrast, a large part of
Biology/Life Science requires the memorization of many
terms/concepts along with learning to think Bio - logically (Greek =
logikos).
I will carefully teach
through ALL of the material using PowerPoint Presentations,
Areopagus Class Dialogue (see Acts 17), "Living LABS", etc. Your job
is to highlight terms, concepts, and processes that I tell you are
important, especially those that will be re-tested throughout the
year. Much of this course requires comprehensive knowledge and
cumulative testing. So, beware. Do NOT just cram before
assessments. Crammed material does not go into long-term memory and
therefore cumulative material will catch up with you as the year
unfolds!
You are expected to schedule your time throughout each unit:
- to read and understand the
concepts taught
- to outline and condense your notes into manageable segments
with memory cues
- to memorize your outlines well
- to meditate on and question the meaning and implications of
everything covered
* Never believe anything without sufficient evidence (critical
thinking / bio-logic) Proverbs 14:15; Hebrews 11:1

Crucial Creation Cornerstone
Questions:
Why have 1,000's of PhD
scientists rejected macroevolution?
-
They include the inventor of the MRI &
professors at major universities.
- Yet, PBS, National Geographic, & Scientific American
claim there are none.
- If new evidence has convinced 1,000's, then shouldn't you find out why?
- Take a look for yourself. (Here are a few lists:
AiG,
ICR,
CMI, CRS)
What kind of "god" is portrayed
by theistic evolution?
- Remember, survival of the fittest depends upon pain, fear, suffering, &
death.
- In contrast, the God of the Bible is the Good Shepherd.
- Theistic evolution is a belief that blasphemes God by making Him a
monster.
Why is the character of our Creator
the cornerstone of counseling?
- The foundation for
consistent peace, joy, & unselfish love must be trust in God.
- Believing that God desired & designed disease & death does not
lead to trust.
- Good News: Willful sin, Satan, & selfishness are the cause, not
God.
Dr.
A.E. Wilder-Smith (Christian / Young Earth Creationist)
is one of very few scientists who earned three doctorates in physical sciences from
prestigious universities - Oxford, then Geneva, and finally Zurich. The
website memorializing his work and life,
http://www.wildersmith.org/,
contains a wealth of material, including videos, audios, articles, and books,
for the scientific scholar as well as the layman.

NCZoo "Living Labs" - (30

Remember, "Biology" means the study of
"Life", not dead specimens!
This especially
means the study of "nephesh" inter-relationships.

Click on the owl below for the
textbook site
(Remember, this is a secular and evolutionary text.)
You can download glossaries and take practice tests online at the above textbook site.
Disclaimer:
This textbook, like all human works, is not perfect. It contains
some material that is out of date and some that has been proven
wrong. Also, since it is not a “Christian” text it also contains
worldview statements, especially regarding philosophy of life and
historical science that are inconsistent with a biblical worldview.
Most people do not realize that “science” is not as
objective as some scientists proclaim it to be. Some, even some
non-Christian scientists, admit the fact that “scientific” claims
are often just traditional beliefs held to by the current majority.
“Assumptions
can be dangerous, especially in science. They usually start as
the most plausible or comfortable interpretation of the
available facts. But when their truth cannot be immediately
tested and their flaws are not obvious, assumptions often
graduate to articles of faith, and new observations are
forced to fit them. Eventually, if the volume of
troublesome information becomes unsustainable, the
orthodoxy must collapse.” [Emphasis added in
bold italics]
(John
Mattick, PhD, professor of molecular biology at the University
of Queensland and director of the Institute for Molecular
Bioscience. “The Hidden Genetic Program of Complex
Organisms”, Scientific American, October 2004, p. 61.)
Since
the
text is a secular, non-Christian work that is saturated with
non-theistic, and insufficiently substantiated evolutionary
hypotheses, it provides the opportunity to apply analytical,
critical, bio-logical thinking skills as we compare how scientific
evidences best fit a model of theistic/biblical creation. Also,
textbook publishers compete with one another to sell books to state
schools, so the books are getting bigger, heavier, and overloaded
with unnecessarily distracting boxes, sidebars, charts, etc.
Therefore, I have outlined and summarized the textbooks into Word
(.doc) and PowerPoint (.ppt) documents and put them online for more
efficient study, along with updated, supplementary materials.

Creation Quote of Interest:
Dr Emmett Williams, Creation Research Society Quarterly, 29(2):84, September
1992.
‘Anyone who questions man’s reasoning, particularly on
the origin of the physical world, faces an arrogance almost beyond
comprehension. Many scientists realize the weak underpinnings of
scientific models but the spokesmen of naturalism and their media
advocates will not abide anything that questions either the
supremacy of man, his reasoning power or his conclusions. I have
seen media interviewers, who gladly try to tear Christian and
conservative guests to pieces, grovel before a scientist who is [one
of the] illuminati of evolutionary thought. No one would dare to try
to question a living example of the superiority of man’s reasoning
power. They are in the presence of a high priest of the one
and only knowledge — let all the earth keep silent before
him!’

ORIGINS DEBATES & PRESENTATIONS -
Which Model Best Fits the
Evidence?
(Biblical Creation or One of the many Non-Biblical
Models?)
Pray for the
possibility for debates / dialogues here on the NCS campus or in a local
church:
One potential is to have Mr. Galloway debate an evolutionary teacher or
professor.
Another possibility is to have another creationist debate an
evolutionist.
Also, it would be
wonderful to bring down a team from Answers In Genesis.
Their scientists / speakers are excellent, using PowerPoint / video
visual aids.
The evidences they present are glorifying to the Lord and
evangelistically effective.
Philip J Currie & Eva B Koppelhus,
101 Questions about Dinosaurs, Dover Publications, 1996, pp. 11, 12.
‘". . . Modern bones that fall into mineral
springs can become permineralized [fossilized] within a matter of
weeks."'
‘"Bones do not have to be “turned into stone” to be fossils, and usually
most of the original bone is still present in a dinosaur fossil. ‘A
more spectacular example was found on the North Slope of Alaska, where
many thousands of bones lack any significant degree of permineralization.
The bones look and feel like old cow bones, and the discoverers of the
site did not report it for twenty years because they assumed they were
bison, not dinosaur, bones.’"
Mary Schweitzer & Tracy Staedter,
‘The Real Jurassic Park,’ Earth, June 1997, pp. 55–57.
‘A thin slice of T. rex bone glowed amber beneath the lens of
my microscope. Blood vessel channels snaked through a bone matrix, and
tiny chambers known as lacunae, which house bone-forming cells, appeared
as small ovals.… The lab filled with murmurs of amazement, for I had
focused on something inside the vessels that none of us had ever noticed
before: tiny round objects, translucent red with a dark center…. ‘Then
a colleague took one look at them and shouted, “You’ve got red blood
cells. You’ve got red blood cells!”

Please, remember, you are in
secondary school, so set up your own schedule for home study.
Get the next unit's materials from the website as they are
uploaded, create a condensed memory outline, commit the terms
and concepts to memory in logical order.
I will be explaining and discussing all of the material in class
through PowerPoint Presentations, Video Clips, Computer
Animations, and Internet Activities, but only YOU can store the
content into your long-term memory for later recall.
Please, don't forget that major concepts will be cumulatively
tested throughout the year, since they build one upon the other.

(Due to lack of time
in the school schedule,
we will try and do this lab using our compound light microscopes,
but if time does not allow, then it will be done in class with the QX3 Digital Scope as a whole class
to view on our projector screen.)
Spiritual
Analogy & Application:
Elodea’s common name is “Anacharis” meaning “increased GRACE
/ GIFT (charis)” in Greek. Just as our Creator God gave
plants to continually provide life-giving air (oxygen / Greek =
pneuma) to His nephesh (thinking / feeling) creatures, God has also given us
the Holy Spirit (Greek = pneuma) as the source of new, eternal life through the
spiritual second birth when a person is “born-again”.
Note that the New Testament Greek word for spirit is pneuma, which
means air or wind. Without the new, spiritual,
second birth, no person can have eternal life. Jesus said the
choice is yours (John 3). The Good News (Gospel) is that Jesus
did all the work necessary for us, through His sinless life,
sacrificial death, and resurrection. None of our tainted “good”
works are of any value to earn or buy eternal life. [THE
GOOD NEWS]
** Also, just as
physical osmosis can cause water in the environment to soak into
a cell, spiritual osmosis can and will result in cultural
influences to soak into the soul of believers. Therefore,
each person must be careful about the social environment he or
she is surrounded by (1 Corinthians 15:33 - friends, movies,
teachers, etc). Remember, when one person yawns, the whole
crowd is tempted to yawn. We are designed so that
environmental influences are socially / spiritually contagious.
Discipleship involves surrounding oneself with godly friends and
activities.

This section is based on this phrase
and concept Mr. Galloway coined for his children,
in order to emphasize the awesome glory of God,
whose infinite intellect created the incomprehensibly complex
information
coded into deoxyribonucleic acid - DNA.

Memory Outline Card on
Ch 8 Notes due Wednesday Jan 10
Just as with the last unit, there is a large
quantity of material that must be memorized before you can comprehend
concepts and apply principles. Therefore, remember that you have - as always
- homework every night if you need it. The specific, required homework due
Tuesday is to make an effective set of condensed memory cards. It is better
if you write them by hand, since this forces your brain to store the
information better.
Also remember that whatever is not written on your note cards should be
stored in your memory. If you give me a short outline with only a few main
headings, I will individually and personally test to see how much of the
content you have actually put to memory.

(Achievement Testing will interrupt
this unit)
So, you are responsible to download and/or print the PPT Notes.
(Be sure to print the slides, 6 to a page and in grayscale, unless
you want color.)
** Remember, you have HOMEWORK EVERY night IF
you decide that you NEED it. You are young adults and are responsible to manage
your own study time efficiently and effectively. Don't depend on your teachers
or your parents to "spoon feed" and push you along, or you will not be prepared
for later grades or college. Examine the notes and assignments for this unit and
then break it up into manageable sections to study as the days unfold. Remember
to review the sections you have already studied to solidify long term memory and
keep it fresh in your mind. If you have any questions, ask in class or email me.

( WORD DOC notes) Ethology and Animal
(Nephesh) Behavior
This unit will stretch across three calendar
weeks.
However, due to NCS 10th grade standardized testing, it will only consist of
about two weeks of class days.
|
Please remember that our emphasis in this Ethology and
Animal Behavior Unit is on the
pinnacle purpose of God's creation: "nephesh" creatures who are able to
experience and enjoy His nature of love and order with one another
(animals, humans, and angels) and with Him directly (humans and angels).
|
** Don't worry, due to the
unexpected and significant schedule disruption
caused by both spiritual emphasis
week and Stanford Achievement week,
I have changed the assessment schedules and
adjusted the difficulty of both quiz and test.
** However, this means you must work responsibly and independently to
learn the notes I've prepared for you. |
