Association AND-Nucleus Apúlia will be offering an exciting Creation Science Seminar in English! 

Depending on the demand, we will offer a seminar once or twice in the first three weeks of July and once or twice in the last three weeks of August.

Through a captivating series of documentaries, audio visuals, books, discussions and games you will learn what a worldview is and how to develop your own. Since everyone has a worldview and since worldview views forms our character, you will learn how to distinguish the levels of validity of the different worldviews that are being promoted in today’s society. Illogical ways of thinking abound in today’s world, in the media and even in the educational system. You will learn how to differentiate between logical and illogical thinking. You will become a better thinker and learn to distinguish between the truth and the lie.

The seminar will be held in Apúlia, Esposende, in Portugal. Apúlia is a beach town and the location is just 150 meters from the beach. For each session two excursions will be planned to an exciting recreational area of northern Portugal including swimming and/or kayaking in the local river or swimming and /or kayaking in the mountains lake/springs of Gerés- National Park.
