Seek Wisdom: Search for Understanding and Discernment
Creation is what we as Christians believe: that the earth was created by God, for us to come and experience opposition, to be tried and tested, so that we can ultimately become Gods and Goddesses ourselves. Scientists who believe this model are called "Creationist Scientists."

Evolutionists are sort of taking over the scientific world. They are scientists who typically do not believe in God and believe theories, such as the earth was created by the "Big Bang" and that life evolved from microscopic organisms who finally grew legs, lungs, and walked on land.
In Eureka this month, we are going to explore the two different belief systems:
1. God created the earth in 7 creative periods.
2. Evolutionist
2. Evolutionist
Did you know there are four scriptural accounts of the Creation? Read each one and jot down notes as to what each account teaches:
Genesis 1: 1-2
Moses 1-3
Abraham 3-5
Temple (Can't read this one. You'll have to wait!)
Read the New Era Article: Things Not Seen by Don Lind
Explore the website: Answers in Genesis. Spend at least 30 minutes. It is a website that consists of articles written by Creation Scientists. (While on this site, you have to read this particular article. Seriously. I found it pretty entertaining and thought about it for weeks after :) Maybe we can go dinosaur hunting! Click here)
Three short articles:
Who was Charles Darwin?
What is Evolution?
How Do We Know?

I'm gonna warn you: You may have to watch this several times. It goes through the theory very quickly, and I got lost the first few times, but it is a great overview:
Watch Bill Nye the Science Guy. Yes, it is for kids. Yes, you have to admit it's pretty entertaining.
Bill Nye- Evolution
Know/Understand
Below is a list of evolution topics. I have assigned each of you one. Study it thoroughly and find a way to present the information to other your fellow Vanguard students. Do NOT do it in "report" form: google topic, copy and paste, and then read it aloud while we are tempted to sleep. Instead, we want you to study the topic until you have a good grasp of it. Then, come up with a way to teach us about it. Maybe you will create a collage, a skit, write a song, make a game, etc. etc. The sky is the limit. The goal is that we, your students, learn about your topic. (Rahel and Rachel have the same topic cause I ran out :) You can work together or separately. Either is fine.)
Shoot for about 5 minutes or so.

I think all of us have felt reverence and awe when looking into the heavens at night, or watching the sunrise when the air is crisp and all is silent. When have you felt that? How do you explain those feelings? How do you think an evolutionist would explain it? Journal about it.
