  12. Area 2: What is the Origin of the Universe? • Area 2 involves a study of the different views about how the world got here. Was the universe created by God or did it happen with the Big Bang? • Are the different views in conflict? Can they be compatible? • We will also study the different views that people have on these questions

  13. Area 3: What is the Origin of Human Life? • Area 3 involves specifically looking at the question “what is the origin of human life?” • We will look at the scientific view and the Christian view • We will ask the questions: Is there a conflict?
