Kiev, Negev, Layers, Prayers, Langurs, and Headbangers:

Appreciating God's Providence in History & Wildlife

(ICR-SOBA's Back to Genesis lecture series)
  • Dates: July 13 & 20, 2023
  • Time: 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.
  • Location: Institute for Creation Research, 1806 Royal Lane, Dallas, TX 75229 (Classroom A)
  • Credit: 1.0 ACSI-approved CEU (Bible or Educational/Professional)
  • Instructor: Dr. James J.S. Johnson (ICR-SOBA, ACSI-credentialed CEU provider 2153)

Overview

This course explores various examples of how God diversely and gloriously works in Providential history, in response to believers’ prayers (James 5:16), plus via displays of His careful and caring provision of resources needed for wildlife to survive and thrive, in this fallen world.  In the Providential history portion of this program, review of Bible passages and big-picture history examples will illustrate selected prayer principles. In the wildlife ecology portion of this program, God’s creation and sustenance of Earth’s biodiversity is exhibited through wildlife examples as diverse as red-cockaded woodpecker mothers, headbanging termite sentinels, generalist/opportunistic langurs, and more!  All of these wild creatures exhibit the Lord Jesus Christ’s glory as the infinitely clever and caring and mighty Creator (and brilliant Bioengineer) that He is. The main presenter of this course is ICR’s Dr. James J. S. Johnson.

Course Objectives

To appreciate creation science/Biblical apologetics aspects of the heavens and the earth, plus all living therein (Exodus 20:8-11; Revelation 4:11), informed by relevant Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, further supplemented by examples of Providential history, in order to analyze and appreciate God’s providences; to illustrate the providential ecology context of the world’s wildlife and geophysical environment from a Biblical creation stewardship;  and to recognize many examples of God’s glory “hidden in plain view” – especially in the biology, ecology, and biogeography of God’s creation and in Scripture-informed Providential history. 

Cost

$30.00 if attended for CEU credit (6 hours of instruction for 1.0 CEU). Please check in for each session in order to receive your certificate.
