Chemistry and Chemical Sciences Course Lessons by Owen Borville

Chemistry and the Chemical Sciences have great importance to all of the physical and life sciences and their applications. From medicines for humans and animals to new materials that make man's life easier, the field of chemical sciences and engineering has a great role in the Creation Mandate (Gen. 1:28) which demands for the people of God to be successful while also taking care of the fellow man and the earth itself. Chemistry, Chemical Sciences, and Engineering involve the physical sciences and are very important to the life sciences, particularly medicine and agriculture.
