Classes
At CA Church, we value a deep knowledge of God and his Word so it is a joy for us to offer many classes and conferences throughout the year, looking at a variety of topics.
Do you want to know more about your faith and how your knowledge of God can change the way you live and view the world?
Tuesday Night Class
It is our hope that through learning and discovery you would grow closer to God and gain an even greater understanding of his great love. Through these classes, you will see how the truth of Jesus practically affects every aspect of our lives. Join us at 7pm.
Current Class:
Science & The Bible: Do I have to choose?
“Humanity should accept that science has eliminated the justification for believing in cosmic purpose, and that any survival of purpose is inspired only by sentiment.”
Peter Atkins, Oxford Chemistry Professor
Christians today just don’t know what to do with science. Militant atheists such as Oxford Chemistry Professor, Peter Atkins repeatedly tell us that Christianity has always been superstitious, anti-science and, well, intellectually bankrupt. Humanity would be much better off it we could just let go of our belief in God and embrace the hard truths of science.
And yet, are science and Christianity really incompatible? As Christians, do we need to choose one or the other? But if not, then how do we answer some of the big questions surrounding Science and Faith, such as:
Who were Adam and Eve?
How did the universe begin?
How do we approach Evolution?
How do we think about bioethical and biomedical issues such as AI, Transhumanism, Euthanasia, and genetic modification?
These are just a few of the (fun) questions that this class is going to explore.
