Lesson Plans for Biblical Apologetics LESSON PLANS FOR BIBLICAL APOLOGETICS A Young Earth ministry perspective, namely contrasting Scripture to true science now and during the ages. Image by Andrew Pitonyak By Dr. Jim Pagels – 9/2016 [email protected] Edited by Dr. John Fricke, Emeritus Professor of Biology, Concordia University, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Copyright This is book offered as a resource on a no cost basis, but not to be copied for the purpose of sale. The English Standard Version is regularly used for Scriptural references. 1 I HAVE NO GREATER JOY THAN TO HEAR THAT MY CHILDREN WALK IN THE TRUTH III JOHN 1:4 Intended Audience – This document, a companion document with Apologetic Resources, is written particularly for the use of those is ministry, namely for professional church workers, i.e., teachers, pastors, youth workers, etc. The focus in this regard is Young Earth creationism and the catastrophic nature of the global Genesis Flood keeping in mind that Genesis 1-11 is foundational to most of the significant doctrines of Holy Scripture. From this perspective there is a valid interplay between Scripture, true science and apologetics as contrasted to the philosophies of materialism and naturalism which are foundational to the theory of evolution. Of course, laymen may well also find these materials a valuable resource. Significance of a Lesson Plan Format - Although it is possible to select specific lesson plans to develop curriculum for a specific use, the primary thought behind the format of this source is that within a religion or science curriculum, there are times when additional material would be beneficial to either clarify a concept or refute the pseudo-science offered within a science text/curriculum. For example, the ice age occurred between Babel and Abraham. Historical science offers the picture of primitive man in terms of the Cro-Magnon Man or Neanderthal brute living during that time. In contrast, these ancient men were examples of genetically modern man who lived during a single ice age which occurred as a result of the global Genesis Flood during which time the Bible records the story of Job. So the first consideration was to offer lesson plans that would augment regular curricular materials. This would shortcut an instructor’s need to either spend time consuming research or just skip concepts which some may consider uncomfortable. Although one may use textbooks that are offered as science which deal with biology or geology, etc., the secularism of historical science associated with evolution is not science at all, for it is a philosophy built on the construct of circular reason, namely that evolution is a fact because it is said to be a fact. Scripture is also a philosophy or belief, but it is not based on the presumption of man’s reasoning that nature is the driving force in the universe, but on the acts of a holy, loving and supernatural God. Keep in mind that it is our responsibility as educators not only to share Scripture in all its truth and purity, but also, in all gentleness and love, to refute philosophies such as the evolution of the universe and of man which marginalize/undermine the gospel message regarding the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Images – Many of the images used in this document are either taken from a site that offers only free images or a combination of free and commercial images. In those cases, the site of origin is designated. In other cases permission has been received by the source to use an image with those cases being designated as “By permission of __________.” 2 Sincere Appreciation – My primary thanks goes out to my wife, Doris. At this time in history we are blessed by the abundance many excellent professional sources offered by Young Earth ministries including, but not limited to, Answers in Genesis and Institute for Creation Research. Lastly, heartfelt thanks go to John Fricke for his ongoing support in offering his professional expertise and in editing the original Apologetic Resources as well as these current Lesson Plans for Biblical Apologetics for the benefit of Christian apologetics. Biographical Sketch - Dr. Jim Pagels has been in Lutheran school ministry as a classroom teacher, interim principal and school/clinical psychologist for over a half a century. He was born in Woodlake, MN, and grew up in Watertown, MN, where his father was a Lutheran elementary teacher and principal. Dr. Jim attended Concordia academy at St. Paul, MN, where he learned a love for the biological sciences and respect for apologetics from Professor Paul W. Stor, a graduate of St. Louis Seminary. From there Jim went on to and graduated from Concordia Teacher’s College, River Forest, IL, and had his teaching internship at St. Martin’s Lutheran in Clintonville, WS. He taught at Redford Lutheran School in Detroit, Michigan, for approximately a decade. Dr. Jim received his Ph.D. from U. of D. Mercy in Clinical Psychology and ministered at Lutheran Special Education Ministries for thirty-five years administering psycho-educational evaluations of children and consultations with parents and teachers.

  • Apologetic Resources
    APOLOGETIC RESOURCES A Young Earth ministry perspective, namely contrasting Scripture to true science now and during the ages. By Dr. Jim Pagels [email protected] 9/2016 Editor Dr. John Fricke, Emeritus Professor of Biology, Concordia University, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Copyright This book is offered as an educational resource on a no cost basis. Contents are not to be reproduced for the purpose of sale. Note that all Scriptural passages are taken from the English Standard Version. 1 I HAVE NO GREATER JOY THAN TO HEAR THAT MY CHILDREN WALK IN THE TRUTH III JOHN 1:4 Forward - Although there is much young Earth information available from commercial sources and on the internet, it was the impression of this writer that no resource that deals with basic topical issues correlating the young Earth philosophy and science exists for professional church workers. To this end, Apologetic Resources is being offered. Intended Audience – The intended audience of this reference material is primarily use by professional church workers, i.e., teachers, pastors, youth workers, etc., namely those who choose to uphold the literal interpretation of Genesis and the inerrancy of Holy Scripture. The focus in this regard is Young Earth Creationism and the catastrophic nature of the global Genesis Flood keeping in mind that Genesis 1-11 is foundational to most of the significant doctrines of Holy Scripture. Of course, laymen may well also find this reference a valuable resource. There is obviously a realistic interplay between Scripture, apologetics and true science. The goal of this document is to provide clarity to this interaction.

  • Burdick, Clifford Leslie (1894–1992)
    Burdick, Clifford Leslie (1894–1992) JAMES L. HAYWARD James L. Hayward, Ph.D. (Washington State University), is a professor emeritus of biology at Andrews University where he taught for 30 years. He is widely published in literature dealing with ornithology, behavioral ecology, and paleontology, and has contributed numerous articles to Adventist publications. His book, The Creation-Evolution Controversy: An Annotated Bibliography (Scarecrow Press, 1998), won a Choice award from the American Library Association. He also edited Creation Reconsidered (Association of Adventist Forums, 2000). Clifford Leslie Burdick, a Seventh-day Adventist consulting geologist, was an outspoken defender of young earth creationism and involved in the search for Noah’s Ark. Many of his claims were sensationalist and later discredited. Early Life and Education Born in 1894, Burdick was a graduate of the Seventh Day Baptist Milton College of Wisconsin. After accepting the Seventh-day Adventist message, Burdick enrolled at Emmanuel Missionary College (EMC, now Andrews University) in hopes of becoming a missionary. There he met the prominent creationist George McCready Price who inspired Burdick’s Clifford Leslie Burdick. interest in “Flood geology.”1 From Youth's Instructor, July 11, 1967 In 1922 Burdick submitted a thesis to EMC entitled “The Sabbath: Its Development in America,” which he later claimed earned him a Master of Arts degree in theology. Records show, however, that he never received a degree at EMC. He also claimed to have received a master’s degree in geology from the University of Wisconsin. Although he did complete several courses in geology there, he failed his oral exams and thus was denied a degree.2 During the 1950s Burdick took courses in geology and paleontology at the University of Arizona with plans to earn a PhD.

  • Creation Evidence Museum
    Creation Evidence Museum Lacks Evidence! By Greg Neyman © Answers In Creation www.answersincreation.org/cem.htm The Creation Evidence Museum in Glen Rose, Texas, claims to have evidences of a young earth on display. Careful examination of the main articles they claim show a young earth reveal that they are deceptions, and in many cases, not even clever ones. (To view their page of Museum Displays, visit CEM Online (creationevidence.org), and click on Museum Displays on the left column.) The rebuttals for this museum are a compilation of articles from various websites. It is important to note that Carl Baugh, the person behind the museum, is at odds with other creation scientists. To view Answers In Genesis' original article on Carl Baugh, visit http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/paluxy/whatbau.html . The London Artifact An iron and wooden hammer supposedly encased in limestone. CEM claims that this hammer could not be millions of years old (dated to the same age as the limestone) so the hammer/rock must be only thousands of years old. Glen Kuban, who has studied the claims of young earth artifacts from Texas for the last fifteen years, provides the real story behind this hammer (http://paleo.cc/paluxy/hammer.htm ). The Burdick Print This footprint from what they claim is Cretaceous limestone, is said to show that man and dinosaurs walked together only a few thousand years ago. Glen Kuban provides a thorough rebuttal to this claim ( http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/paluxy/wilker5.html ). He shows the track contains anatomic errors, and demonstrates that abruptly truncated subsurface algal structures indicate this print was carved into the rock.

Their combined insight and suggestions have provided not only a guiding framework for my project, but also a sense of the scope and perspective of my future work. Julia Mickenberg has successfully converted me to the discipline of childhood studies, and her course on that subject was crucial in helping me to wed my interests in religious studies and children’s culture. Allen MacDuffie’s patience with both overlong office meetings and my ambitious research agenda has been invaluable, and his advice is priceless. Finally, I would like to express my love and gratitude to Rebecca Pedersen, whose breakfast- and dinner-time conversation has both grown and clarified my ideas. iv Abstract Bridging the “Chasm of Doubt”: Fictive Epistemological Strategies in Nineteenth-Century Children’s Bibles Aubrey Elizabeth Plourde, M.A.
