DISCOVER GOD'S DESIGN FOR LIFE.
This Intro To Biology course introduces the core concepts of life science while honoring God as the Creator and Sustainer of all living things. You’ll study the scientific method, cell biology, genetics, ecology, and more—all from a perspective that recognizes the beauty, order, and purpose found in God’s creation.
SEE GOD’S GLORY IN EVERY CELL
As you examine how living things function and interact, you’ll also reflect on how scientific truth reveals spiritual truth. By the end, you’ll not only understand the principles of biology—you’ll grow in awe of the Creator who designed it all.

“BIOLOGY REVEALS THE FINGERPRINTS OF A CREATOR WHO CARES FOR EVERY DETAIL OF LIFE."
