5/6 Introduction to Chemistry and Physics

Mr. Ortega

Science is a method of studying, explaining, cataloging, and utilizing the resources God has given us. Studying our world and how it works should lead us into deeper and deeper awe of our Creator. We will not make the mistake that Paul talks about in Romans 1:25, “exchang[ing] the truth about God for a lie, and [worshiping] and [serving] created things rather than the Creator.”
