OUTLINE:
LIFE SCIENCE SEMESTER ONE
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.
QUARTER ONE
1. What is “Science” & the “Scientific Method” (Textbook Introduction)
Basic Bio-Logic: Logikos thinking is both scriptural and scientific.
** Both teach that we are to think logically and believe based on evidence.
Distinguishing between “Origins” Science vs. “Operational” Science
2. Origins Science: The Significance & Evidence for Creation vs. Evolution (Ch 5)
Life Defined and Described (Nephesh vs. Non-Nephesh)
3. Classification of Creatures: Introducing Baraminology (Part of Chapter 6)
QUARTER TWO
1. Cells Form and Function (Homeostasis) / Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration (Chapters 1-2)
2. Cell Reproduction / Genetics and Inheritance (Chapters 3-4)
3. Comprehensive Review of Semester 1 (Cumulative Comprehensive Exam)
Christmas Break
LIFE SCIENCE SEMESTER TWO
QUARTER THREE
1. Review of Bio-Logic and the Scientific Method
2. Microbiology (Bacteria / Viruses) (Chapter 6)
3. Protists / Fungi (Chapter 7)
4. Plants (Chapter 9)
QUARTER FOUR
1. Zoology (Invertebrates and Vertebrates – Chapters 10-13)
2. Human Anatomy (Chapters 15-21)
3. Ecology (Chapters 22-24)
4. Comprehensive Review of the Year (Cumulative Comprehensive Final Exam)

Note: Biblical Creation is in sync with 1000's of respected PhD scientists:
* Dr. Raymond Damadian, Inventor of the MRI
* Dr. John Baumgardner, World renowned geophysicist, Los Alamos
* Dr. Andrew Snelling, Geologist, author Earth's Catastrophic Past
* Dr. John Sanford, Respected geneticist, Cornell University
-- author of Genetic Entropy: The Mystery of the Genome
* Dr. Russ Humphreys, Astrophysicist, Sandia National Labs, etc.
-- author of (Starlight and Time) (Evidences Young World Booklet)
* Dr. John Hartnett, Prof. Univ. West Australia, astrophysics, etc.
-- author of: (Dismantling the Big Bang) (Starlight Time New Physics)
* etc, etc . . . . .
The Age of the Universe - Time Scales - Einstein's Relativity . . .
The following quote from creationary astrophysicist Dr. John Hartnett demonstrates the wonderful way science magnifies the accuracy of God's Word in Genesis:
"The simplest way to calculate the age of the universe, within the Big Bang worldview, is to wind its expansion back to zero. This is called the 'Hubble Age' because it is the inverse of the Hubble expansion constant. The best current estimate is 15 billion years, with an uncertainty of +/- 2 billion years."
". . . . While we do not accept all the assumptions that underlie these figures, there is no doubt that distance alone, plus a constant speed of light, yields a light-transit time far in excess of the biblical time scale, so we do accept the idea of an "old" cosmos within its own frame of reference, but the entire universe is young in earth-clock terms."
"Time dilation models can explain . . . . light from those distant galaxies took billions of years of galaxy time to reach earth, but the light that arrived here on creation day 4 (of earth-time, having traveled billions of years in galaxy-time) was the first light emitted from the newly created galaxies. So Adam and Eve would have been able to view them (had they been able to see them through a modern telescope) in their created positions. We today are seeing them 6,000 years after their creations as measured by earth clocks (even though the light took billions of years as measured by galaxy clocks to get here)."
[emphasis added]
Dismantling the Big Bang: God's Universe Rediscovered, pp. 199-201, by John Hartnett, PhD (astrophysics - University of Western Australia)
- See also Starlight, Time, and the New Physics, by Dr. Hartnett, in which he expands mathematically on the models of Einstein and Carmeli to answer many of the past problems associated with both the big bang and creation models.
- See also the article by Dr. Mark Harwood entitled, "How can distant starlight reach us in just 6,000 years?". Dr. Harwood's research has focused around the development and use of radiotelescopes.
Please remember that:
- Einstein showed time is a real property of the universe . . .
- Time is relative and actually changes due to gravity, velocity . . .
- Einstein's theories have been expanded by Carmeli, Harnett . . .
- The universe expanded (God "stretched out the heavens")
- Its age literally depends on your space/time perspective . . .
- So a relatively young universe can be billions of light-years in size.

Evolutionary
Religious Philosophy
** "Avatar & the New Evolutionary Religion",
by Dr. Carl Wieland.
The article by my friend Dr. Wieland is an excellent expose regarding the insidious and powerful messages being fed to our children through movies, TV, video games, etc. Remember that we are social creatures that unconsciously absorb ideas, attitudes, and habit patterns from those around us - so much more from the powerful medium of video. (Rom 12:2)
* Parents, please create a "LIFE SCIENCE" file on your home computer, then have your student download and save a digital copy of every document that I'll be linking on this webpage as the year unfolds - unit by unit.
- - That way, if he or she "miss places" handouts, then a back up will still be accessible on your PC.
- Unit notes will be uploaded in order by date below, as the year unfolds.

* 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".
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
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, & 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 peace, joy, & unselfish love must be trust in God.
- Believing 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 Aquariums/Terrariums) (Over 40 Live Animals)
Remember, "Biology" means the study of "Life", not dead specimens!
This especially means the study of "nephesh" inter-relationships.
Study Motive: God's kind of love, which sacrifices the desires of self for the needs of others, instead of sacrificing the needs of others for the desires of self.
Don't believe anything, even what I say,
unless the evidence makes it worthy of your trust.
"Faith is the . . . evidence of things not seen." (Heb 11:1)

Text and Class Notes:
Remember, my PowerPoints and some WORD Documents are very large and take a lot of space. I cannot afford to pay for the host storage space to keep all of them online at the same time. So, I might only be able to maintain the most recent and immediately needed files. Also, remember that they take a long time to download, depending on your connection speed, so be patient. If you have trouble, email me sid@soulcare.org or sgalloway@northlakechristian.org

Semester 1
(Dec 15-18)
Updated STUDY GUIDE
Merry Christmas - Answer Hints!
for the Life Science Mid-Year Exam
* It will cover all units so far, including Unit 6 Ch 5 Modern Genetics
To study for your exam, you should:
1. Complete the Exam Study Guide thoroughly
2. Use your past completed unit study guides, PPT Notes, Doc Notes, etc.
3. Since I have all of your notes available in digital form on my website at your science webpage, you can pull up on your PC any set of notes and use the "FIND" option (Control - F) to locate any term, concept, etc, in that set of notes.
4. You can use your textbook that you have kept at home, since 90% of the notes and power points I created for you came from the text.
5. You can also find animations for visual understanding of many concepts linked on my science webpage and countless more through Google for any concept.
6. You will not need your past tests, since the exam questions will be different. Every year, I keep all "tests" protected in a locked cabinet so that students cannot pass them on to the next year's classes.
7. Last but not least, prayerfully trust God to help you as you in turn are diligent to make "outline/memory" cards, then memorize repeatedly, then practice writing answers to mock questions about concepts or relationships.
I'll be praying for all of you as you study.
