But have you ever struggled with how you will teach your science class when students have a range of ideas about creation?

Hear how one teacher encourages lively, respectful discussion and deals with difficult questions from logic-level students. Lecture and small group discussion will help you to lead your students to honor our Creator while seeing through a glass, darkly.
