Grades 9–12 · Formal arguments, primary sources, and scholarly-level reasoning.

UNIT 1 - PHILOSOPHY: ARGUMENTS FOR GOD'S EXISTENCE
LESSON 01

The Kalam Cosmological Argument

William Lane Craig's formalization of an ancient argument: the impossibility of an actually infinite past, the Borde-Guth-Vilenkin theorem, and the metaphysics of causation.

COSMOLOGICAL · ADVANCED
LESSON 02

The Moral Argument: From Objective Values to God

Kant's moral postulates, divine command theory vs. Euthyphro, and why naturalism cannot ground moral realism.

MORAL · ADVANCED
LESSON 03

Cosmic Fine-Tuning and the Design Inference

Roger Penrose's entropy calculation, Robin Collins's likelihood principle, and John Lennox on the limits of scientific explanation.

TELEOLOGICAL · ADVANCED
UNIT 2 - BIOLOGY, INFORMATION & DESIGN
LESSON 04

The Origin of Life: What Chemistry Actually Shows

James Tour's five unsolved problems, chirality, and why the Miller-Urey experiment is routinely overstated.

ORIGIN OF LIFE · JAMES TOUR
LESSON 05

The Human Genome: DNA as the Language of God

Francis Collins, the White House announcement, and why DNA's 3.1 billion letters function as a genuine language - one that points to a mind.

HUMAN GENOME · FRANCIS COLLINS
LESSON 06

Something From Nothing? The Quantum Vacuum Fallacy

The physicist's "nothing" is not nothing. Why the quantum vacuum still requires space, time, energy, and laws - and why even atheist philosophers reject the argument.

COSMOLOGY · PHILOSOPHY
LESSON 07

The Bacterial Flagellum: A Molecular Machine

A rotary motor with rotor, stator, drive shaft, universal joint, and propeller - powered by ion flow. Engineers didn't invent this design. They copied it.

MOLECULAR BIOLOGY · DESIGN
LESSON 08

The Complexity of Life Requires a Designer

Capstone: the cell as factory, information theory, and the cumulative case from Tour, Collins, and Behe - tying together the biological evidence for design.

CAPSTONE · BIOLOGY & DESIGN
UNIT 3 - TEXTUAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE
LESSON 09

Textual Criticism and the New Testament

The science of reconstructing ancient texts. Papyrus P52, the Codex Sinaiticus, and why Bart Ehrman's own data supports reliability.

TEXTUAL CRITICISM · ADVANCED
LESSON 10

Archaeology, Extra-Biblical Sources & the Historical Method

From the Pilate Stone to the James Ossuary. How historians evaluate ancient evidence and what the convergence of sources tells us.

ARCHAEOLOGY · ADVANCED
UNIT 4 - THE RESURRECTION & HARD QUESTIONS
LESSON 11

The Resurrection: A Historical Investigation

Habermas's minimal facts, N.T. Wright's historiography, and Bayesian reasoning applied to miracle claims.

RESURRECTION · ADVANCED
LESSON 12

The Problem of Evil: A Philosophical Deep Dive

Plantinga's modal Free Will Defense, skeptical theism, and why the logical problem of evil has been largely solved.

THEODICY · ADVANCED
LESSON 13

The Hard Problem of Consciousness

Materialism cannot explain why subjective experience exists. Chalmers's hard problem, Mary's Room, Thomas Nagel's challenge, and what this means for the existence of God.

CONSCIOUSNESS · PHILOSOPHY
LESSON 14

Quantum Physics, Non-Locality & Consciousness

Bell's inequality proves reality is non-local. What does that mean for materialism - and does consciousness point to something deeper than matter?
