About the course
Where did the universe come from? How old is the Earth? Did life evolve by chance? What really happened “in the beginning”? Unlocking the Mysteries of Creation by Dennis R. Petersen has helped families and classrooms explore these questions with a Bible in one hand and the evidence in the other. Now the book comes alive in a series of narrated video lessons. Each one walks through the book’s pages and pictures one idea at a time and lets the Bible speak first. Every lesson comes with everything a student needs to learn it well: • A two-page Study Guide: fill it in while you watch, with key words, Scripture and a hands-on Field Journal activity • A reading assignment: the book pages behind the video, with what to look for • Illustrated Study Notes: the big picture, key ideas, key terms and the Scriptures behind each lesson • A quiz with explanations: 10 questions drawn only from the video and the book • Discuss & Reflect prompts: for the family table, the classroom and personal journaling, plus a simple at-home activity • A printable Workbook: note pages, vocabulary, practice questions and journal pages for students who like to work on paper
Who it’s for
✓ Homeschool families learning together (ages about 10 and up, with prompts for younger children) ✓ Christian school science and Bible classes ✓ Co-ops and youth groups ✓ Anyone who wants to give a reason for the hope they have, starting with Genesis
Dennis R. Petersen
Dennis R. Petersen is the author of Unlocking the Mysteries of Creation: The Explorer’s Guide to the Awesome Works of God, used by homeschool families and Christian schools for years. The course is narrated in his voice and follows his book page by page. Course by Jason Brents.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need the book? Recommended. The videos follow it page by page, and the Study Notes and quizzes cite page numbers (2nd edition). How long does each lesson take? About an hour in total: 13–15 minutes watching (with the Study Guide), 15 minutes reading, then notes, a quiz and discussion. Families often spread one lesson over a week. Does it count for high school credit? It's designed as one full-year elective science course (non-lab, about 120 hours) when students read the book along with the lessons. In a homeschool, the parent awards the credit; a Christian school awards it through its own program. The course itself is not accredited. Is there an answer key? Yes. The parent or teacher of every enrolled student gets free access to our private Parent & Teacher Resources course: answer keys for every Study Guide, quiz and the final exam, plus the Parent & Teacher Guide. After enrolling your student, request teacher access with your student's name and we'll add you. Students never see it. Is this the whole book? This release has 31 finished lessons based on the 2nd edition of the book. More lessons are in production along with the 3rd edition, and will be free for every enrolled student.
