Our website offers a condensed essence of important ideas, for a quick education on two levels:
• introductions — for a coherent overview to help you understand ideas and their relationships,
• exploration — to help you explore more deeply, we'll provide links to pages with more depth.

Overviews are in the homepages for ORIGINS QUESTIONS and its
three areas:   Views of Creation   Origins Evidence   Origins Education

      A Religious Perspective
      ASA is a Christian organization, and our perspectives — on faith, science, and their interactions — can be useful for public school teachers who want to minimize controversy (about their treatment of religion) while still providing educational information for their students, or for teachers in a private school or home school.
      A teacher (in K-12 or college) who wants to use our religious perspective could: 
      • use the website to get a better understanding of complex issues, then decide how to use this knowledge for teaching, or
      • tell students about the website and say "here is something you may (or may not) want to explore on your own," or
      • find appropriate web-pages that fulfill a specific educational function, and assign these for students to read.

Two Views of the Website Structure
The structure of this website for Origins Questions can be viewed in two ways, as shown below:
• the columns show three perspectives:  theological (purple), scientific (green), educational (blue).
• the rows show three questions:   When we disagree?   How old is the earth?   Was it all-natural?

This table shows theology and science as two perspectives, but they are mutually interactive with each influencing the other.  For whole-person education, the perspectives of theology and science should be combined — at least in a teacher's holistic understanding of the issues — as indicated by "Theology + Science in Edu."  But in a particular educational context, a teacher may want to emphasize one perspective more than the other.

The SITEMAP shows a "three perspectives" view (as in the columns) and
this page, in tables below, has a "three questions" view (as in the rows).
 

 
 OPTIONS:
 This page is an overview-without-explanations that lets you quickly SEE what's available. 
 Another page is like this page but larger, since it's an overview-with-explanations that
 will help you UNDERSTAND what's in each area and why you may want to explore it.

 The sitemap-overview below has four parts:
 •  What should we do when we disagree? 
 1. How old is the earth and universe?
 2. Was the process all-natural?
 ORIGINS EDUCATION 
 

  A Guide for Teachers shows you "where to look" in this website for Origins Questions.
