0:00.0	I.D. The Future, a podcast about evolution and intelligent design.
0:10.0	Welcome to ID the Future. I'm your host, Andrew McDermid.
0:15.0	Hey, did you know, Discovery Institute Academy offers innovative online science courses for home school students taught from the
0:22.0	perspective that nature reflects intelligent design. Well, today I'm welcoming to the podcast,
0:28.1	Kristen Murray and Summer Lyle, instructors of this year's biology and chemistry courses.
0:34.6	Welcome to the podcast, ladies.
0:36.6	Thank you for having us, Andrew. Yeah, thank you very much.
0:40.8	Yeah, well, let's start with a bit of introduction from you both, your educational backgrounds,

0:57.1	at a Christian school for seven. And then the last two, I've been teaching a science education
1:02.2	methods course at Cornerstone University. During that time, I'm pursuing my master's degree
1:08.1	from Biola in Science and Religion. And I love biology because
1:13.2	it's the one class that you get to ask all the questions you've wondered since you were a little

1:27.9	where I got to actually study those things in school. And then the more you learn about it,
1:32.1	the better it gets because you go deeper and deeper into all the details of how they're made.
1:37.6	Even in your welcome video, you talk about bugs in your backyard and just how interesting
