The Human Body: Fearfully And Wonderfully Made!

Exploring Creation Science

by Jay L. Wile, Marilyn M. Shannon

The Human Body: Fearfully and Wonderfully Made! is an Advanced Biology course that (upon completion of Exploring Creation With Biology and The Human Body: Fearfully and Wonderfully Made!) is the equivalent of an AP Biology course. It is important that your student finish a first year biology course and a first year chemistry course before attempting The Human Body. Your student will study 11 organ systems in detail. This includes frank illustrations and descriptions.

About the author

Jay Wile learned about his love for chemistry when his dedicated parents bought him his first chemistry set. Many stink bombs and a few explosions later, he was hooked! Although he loved chemistry, he also had many other interests. For a while, he thought about becoming a concert pianist, but unfortunately, his fingers were not long enough (no kidding!). As he was finishing up his high school years, he became extremely interested in the theater and began to pursue a career in acting. Partly because he learned the science behind some of the special effects of the plays in which he performed, he eventually went back to his first love: chemistry.

He went to the University of Rochester in upstate New York to study chemistry, and while he was there, he began working on nuclear chemistry experiments. He became so fascinated with nuclear chemistry that he stayed at the University of Rochester and got a Ph.D. in that field. For several years, he did research in the field under the auspices of the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation. This research led to several grants and many publications. While doing research, Dr. Wile was also an assistant professor of chemistry.

Dr. Wile's love of science is demonstrated by the many awards he has won for excellence in teaching and research. He has also presented numerous lectures on the topics of Nuclear Chemistry, Christian Apologetics, Homeschooling, and Creation vs. Evolution. He has published 30 articles on these subjects in nationally-recognized, peer-reviewed journals, and has 9 books to his credit, most of which belong to the award-winning "Exploring Creation with" series of junior-high and high-school science courses.

[Nathan Jensen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely outstanding course! As a homeschool student, I'm always impressed with Dr Wile's work, and this textbook is no exception. He successfully combines diagrams, well-written chapters, and interesting mental exercises to create in those who study, a deeper awe for their creator.
