Class Code: BAPTH    HS Level
Teacher: Dr. Ray Bohlin
Teacher Email: rbohlin@probe.org
Description:

Apologia's Anatomy and Physiology course follows Biology and Chemistry, focusing on the human body.

Of the four science classes I teach, A&P is the most practical and will have a lasting impact, no matter the student. You will be learning about your own body and how it functions. There are also incredible aspects of intelligent designs in the many ways your body self-regulates, self-repairs, and performs amazing integrated functions. All the major organ systems are thoroughly investigated down to the cellular level.

There is a lot of memorization for this course, for which students may get extra credit for using the Quizlet flash cards keyed to this course.

The textbook is Advanced Biology: The Human Body, 2nd Edition. 

Biography:

Although I have served in ministry since college, all of my education is in science. I first earned a B.S. in zoology from the University of Illinois. At the University of North Texas, I earned an M.S. in population genetics, which is actually evolutionary biology. I knew that if I were going to be a critic of evolution, I needed to understand it better than the evolutionists. At the University of Texas at Dallas, I earned a second Masters and a Ph.D. in molecular and cell biology. So I have studied evolution on the macro level of animals and the micro level of molecules, all of which served to solidify my absolute conviction that God is Creator who has left His fingerprints all over His creation—and I see science as the study of those fingerprints.

I have been privileged to lecture and debate on dozens of college and university campuses in the U.S. and internationally. I have addressed issues in the creation/evolution debate as well as other science-related issues such as the environment, genetic engineering, medical ethics, and sexually transmitted diseases. I am also a Fellow with the Discovery Institute in the area of Intelligent Design.

For the last several years, I have served the Texas State Board of Education in providing oversight of biology textbooks, including testifying before the whole board on textbook issues that promote myths about evolution. Recently I have become a Content Advisor for all science for grades K-12. We are grateful for God granting this privilege, that a scientist committed to the truth of His Word has been given a voice that will impact millions of Texas public school students.
