What are the two great commands and how might you use Earth Science to carry them out?
The two great commandments are Love God and Love others. We can use these in earth science by helping people and protecting them by things that could be dangerous. Satan wants us to be banished into hell, but if we show to people the love of God he will lead us away from corrupt things.

What is NOT an example of applying the Creation Mandate?
mocking a secular scientist because he believes that the earth is 4.5 billion years old
A friend says that he doesn’t understand how Christianity has anything to do with science. How do they relate (Christianity and Science) Explain how studying Earth Science can be seen through God’s plan of Redemption
Well if you take an evolutionists path of science he says that the earth was “accidentally” made just as we were “accidentally” made by one big bang. But a Christian’s perspective in a scientist shows that God created all things and he gave us science to learn more about the beautiful things he has made. He also shows that we can use science to help and support people rather than using it to make researches to find things for ourselves. God is always in control and we just have to follow Him and show Him how we can use this normal class in schools to spread His glory.

True
Compare and contrast Gap Theory and the Young Earth Creationist view
The Gap theory shows that God made the heavens and the earth just like Christianity. But there was a part in between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 that was Lucifer’s banishment and God had to start over in Genesis 1:2. Obviously young Earth creationists believe that God crated all the things in order and God never started over. They also believe that we should follow the Bible’s sayings instead of our own suggestions.
What science occurs in the present and extend theories?
Operational
What science investigates things that happened in the observable past and relies on worldview?
Historical
Why are some models workable within a secular and Christian worldview and some are not?
A model for the Earth would work perfectly for both Creationist and evolutionist view, cause both believe happened. A model of a Monkeys transformation to a human would be for only evolutionists. A model for Noah’s ark would be for a creationist. Now we all know that creation is the right thing calls us to do, so we should listen to it and let all of the science we study lead to it.
