Description

Earth & Space Science with Dr. John Whitmore is a year-long course designed to explore God’s creation through the sciences of geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy.

This rich video course will help students see the world through a Biblical lens, showing how the beauty and complexity of creation point to God’s eternal power and divine nature.

Led by Dr. Whitmore—an experienced geologist, paleontologist, and professor—this course is packed with engaging topics your student will love:

• Volcanoes, plate tectonics and the Flood
• Oceans, storms and weather patterns
• Dinosaurs, fossils and geologic history
• The solar system, stars and cosmic origins

Students will gain a stronger faith, a deeper awe for God’s creation, and a more confident understanding of how science aligns with Scripture. With hands-on labs, dynamic video lessons, and biblical insight woven throughout, it’s a fantastic way to equip your student to think critically and faithfully about the world around them.

Students will learn about:

• Physical geology, including rock layers, minerals, and erosion
• Historical geology from both creation science and evolutionary science perspectives
• Hydrology, focusing on water, its storage, movement, and usage
• Oceanography, including the physics and chemistry of ocean water
• Meteorology and other areas of atmospheric science
• Astronomy, cosmic origins, galaxies, and the universe

The class uses the textbook The Heavens and Earth, co-written by Dr. Whitmore and three other scientists. It also includes multiple labs with rock kits, fossils, and online programs. With hands-on labs, dynamic video lessons, and biblical insight woven throughout, this unique high school science class will give students the tools both to engage the world around them, but also to strengthen their faith in the Bible and their understanding of God’s creation. Students will gain a stronger faith, a deeper awe for God’s creation, and a more confident understanding of how science aligns with Scripture.
