View all BIO classes

As humans we are called to tend and keep creation, but effectively caring for creation requires a knowledge of how and why creation was intended to function. As such, this course will cover ecological topics such as speciation, extinction, predation, competition, and evolution. This course will also investigate anthropogenic alterations to creation, such as climate change and biodiversity loss. Further, this course will investigate theological explanations for the existence of creation, the fall of creation, and our vocational call toward the reconciliation of all creation. Typically offered: Alternate Years, Winter.
