Equipping Course - Creation vs Evolution, Science, Bible, Mike Riddle

What is an Equipping Course:
An equipping course is a Christian education program designed to train students in the area of creation apologetics. It prepares students to defend God's creation through the use of scientific evidences and facts.

The goal of an equipping course is to help students to recognize information that is used to support evolution presented in textbooks, classroom discussions, and by the media and then:

Ask with confidence, scientific questions that help clarify or challenge the accuracy of information presented to support evolution.

Give relevant information that supports your question or statement through the use of scientific evidences or facts and statements or quotes by scientists.

The Equipping Course can be taken in two formats:

As a 14-hour classroom course. This course normally begins Friday evening and runs all day Saturday.
As a video training package. The video training package includes 3-hours of video teaching, a student manual, and an instructors manual

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.

1 Peter 3:15
