Explore the Universe that God created and investigate how it all works perfectly to create the world we live in. This course will use a zoom-in approach as it begins with outer space, the galaxies, and the solar system; it moves to the atmosphere, weather, and the complex oceans; finally, the course culminates with the amazing layers of the earth. This is a quest to understand the world that God has created.
