Semester not recorded

Passionate guy who teaches interesting material in a new light. Yet, his ego shines through at times, and he is a overly-harsh grader. Overall mixed bag.

About this course

This is an Enduring Question course and is open to FRESHMEN only. You must take both EESC1701 and THEO1703. How have religion and science shaped our understanding of the origins of the Earth, its evolution into a habitable planet, and our human relationship with it? Providing both Christian and Islamic perspectives, this course explores our planet and the evolution of life. Students will also examine the scientific method and the tools of geology, geochemistry, and geophysics used to unlock the history of the Earth from its beginnings.
