This course will discuss the origin of civilization and the significance of Genesis account of Creation. In connection to the Genesis account of Creation the Gap theory will be examined.

- Discover the ramifications of the free will of man.
- Find out the purpose of ethics and morality.
- Discuss the outcomes of understanding God’s existence.
RATIONALE
A discussion on the Genesis account of Creation is paramount to understanding Judeo-Christian history. The problem of evil, suffering, and moral thought cannot be understood outside of Theism. To understand human history it is imperative to recognize the central theme in human history and debunk the critic’s theories. This talk will explore the truth-claims of the Genesis account; answer the hard questions of evil and suffering; and answer the resurrection critics.
