Synopsis
The Faculty Resource Manual includes summaries of the content from each unit, explanation of terms, many biographies of physicists, discussion questions, class exercises, and sample exams and answers. It also includes a password for every faculty member to log onto an on-line forum to obtain answers to questions and engage in discussion. Our young people are in serious need of a defense of their faith that is both contemporary and scientific - otherwise they may fall victim to the false claims and misimpressions created by an increasingly secular society. A large percentage of our young people will become agnostics and even atheists if we do not respond to them with the best evidence that science has to offer. The Reason Series is a 5-Part comprehensive, age-appropriate program designed to empower teachers to effortlessly provide students the evidence they need to be more certain about a transcendent super-intelligent creative power - God. The series follows college freshman Joe as he learns to defend his faith from his atheistic roommate Tyler with the help of physics and philosophy grad students Dan and Alana. USCCB Approval: The USCCB Subcommittee for Catechetical Conformity gives approval only for curricula, text book series, teacher's manuals, or student workbooks that concern a whole course of studies.
