We recommend that CAP 101 Foundations in Creation Apologetics be completed first, because the others build on the ideas presented in the Foundations course.
CAP 101: Foundations in Creation Apologetics
This 15-lesson online course will give you a firm foundation in a biblical worldview and the fundamental ideas of apologetics (how you defend your faith), while helping you understand the battle between the authority of Scripture and the authority of man in modern culture. The course will arm you with knowledge and resources to help you engage the creation/ evolution debate, and will review the scriptural foundation that refutes those who compromise Scripture by espousing ideas like progressive creation and theistic evolution. In addition, you will study important concepts in biology and geology to become better able to explain how science confirms the truth of Scripture.
