Dusting For Fingerprints - Finding God's Heart in the Creation
How do we teach our child the most important subject a Christian can study—the Image of God? Do they simply inherit it from us as we did from our parents? Is it made up of random fragments of knowledge found here and there? The Image of God directly affects our childs response to God and their relationship with Him. God is invisible and this presents an almost impossible challenge until we realize that His fingerprints are all over His Creation. But not until we dust for them are they discernable. And then only after we have read the story they tell, do they mean something. Dusting for God's fingerprints and reading the story they tell is science. At the core of science is the sense of wonder, which is only a heartbeat away from worship. It is a treasure hunt for God's truth. This workshop will give you a fresh new perspective on teaching science from the view point of a practicing professor/research/exploration geologist who has thirty years of international experience reading the rocks—which he refers to as God's second Holy Book. You will see why geologists are just Boy Scouts who didn't want to give up camping when they went to college so they majored in geology.
