FREH 1-1

What attitudes will foster constructive dialogue on the controversial subject of origins? This is the introductory video to a series of short films featuring Dr. Brand explaining some of the key points made in the book Faith Reason and Earth History (downloadable for free at: https://www.grisda.org/faith-reason-and-earth-history). The videos are designed to be used as a teaching aid, to enrich presentations in a class on the subject.
