How to “Teach” High School at Home
Homeschooling parents are often faced with a difficult decision when their children reach high school age. Typically, the parents feel that they are just not able to teach the more demanding levels of mathematics and science which are required at the high school level. In addition, providing the homeschooled student with an adequate laboratory experience is a particularly daunting challenge. As a result, many parents feel that they must send their children to the public schools for a proper high school education. In this seminar, Dr. Jay L. Wile, a former assistant professor of chemistry at Ball State University and Indiana University, will explain why such a decision is not in the best interest of the student.
Using data gathered from many different sources, including his own experience teaching at the high school level, Dr. Wile shows that the last place a student can get an adequate high school education is in the typical public high school. While there are some notable exceptions, the typical public high school does not provide the student with an academic program that is rigorous enough to prepare him or her for the university or the workplace. In addition, most public schools will reduce, not enhance, a homeschooled student’s study skills. Dr. Wile makes a compelling case that the best thing for a homeschooled student is to stay in homeschool, regardless of the parent’s academic abilities.
Dr. Wile advocates that the homeschooling parent should become less and less of a teacher as the student gets older. As the student reaches seventh and eighth grade, the parent’s main job should be to help the student learn, rather than to teach the student. That way, when the student begins to study subjects that the parent does not understand, the student and parent can learn together. This will not only enhance the parent’s education, but it will also send a strong signal to the student regarding the importance of lifelong learning.

“Teaching” the Junior High & High School Sciences at Home
In this seminar, Dr. Jay L. Wile explains how any parent can help his or her children learn science at the upper levels. As a former University teacher and a former high school teacher, Dr. Wile has experienced first-hand the failure of our public school system. As a result, he is a staunch advocate of homeschooling a student all the way through the high school years. Dr. Wile agrees that most parents do not have the ability to teach the high school sciences at home, but he also contends that this is not a problem. By the time a homeschooled student reaches high school, both the student and the parent should be able to learn by reading. Thus, Dr. Wile admonishes the parent to learn the subject right along with the student. With both the parent and the student helping each other learn, an upper level science experience can be equally rewarding for both!
In order to help the homeschooling parent plan his or her science curriculum, Dr. Wile provides study timelines for both the science-oriented and the non science-oriented student. In addition, he also discusses the mathematical skills needed in order to maintain the proposed timeline. Finally, Dr. Wile discusses the curriculum that will make it possible for the homeschooling parent to provide a quality high school science education for his or her children.

Reasonable Faith: The Scientific Case for Christianity
This seminar is based on Dr. Jay L. Wile’s book, Reasonable Faith: The Scientific Case for Christianity. It provides a step-by-step argument which shows that science provides an enormous amount of evidence for the validity of the Christian faith. He first demonstrates how natural science clearly proves the existence of the Creator. He then shows how historical and social science show that the best source of information regarding the Creator is the Holy Bible. Finally, he shows the objective medical and historical evidence that indicates the Bible has, indeed, been inspired by God. Pulling from such broad scientific disciplines as nuclear physics, chemistry, biology, archaeology, literary criticism, sociology, medicine, and historical science, Dr. Wile’s argument is extremely persuasive. Everyone who leaves this seminar will have increased faith in the reality of the Christian experience.

Homeschooling: The Solution to our Education Problem
In this seminar, Dr. Jay L. Wile, a former university professor and high school teacher, explains why homeschooling is the best means by which a child can be educated in America. This seminar is filled with statistics which show that homeschooled students are better academically prepared and better socialized than their public or privately schooled counterparts. These facts will bolster the resolve of homeschooling parents while equipping them to counter arguments from their detractors.
Dr. Wile also tells the audience how he became interested in homeschooling. Unlike most homeschoolers, he did not get involved with home education because he had children who he wanted to homeschool. Instead, he became interested in homeschooling because of the homeschooled students that he had in his university courses. Dr. Wile is convinced that home education is the only proper means of educating a child in America, and after listening to this seminar, you will be inclined to agree with him!

Why Homeschool THROUGH High School
Homeschooling parents are often faced with a difficult decision when their children reach high school age. Typically, the parents feel that they are just not able to teach the more demanding courses which are required at the high school level. As a result, many parents feel that they must send their children to school for a proper high school education. In this seminar, Dr. Jay L. Wile, a former assistant professor of chemistry at Ball State University and Indiana University, will explain why such a decision is not in the best interest of the student.
Using data gathered from many different sources, including his own experiences, Dr. Wile shows that the last place a student can get an adequate high school education is in the typical public high school. While there are some notable exceptions, the typical public high school does not provide the student with an academic program that is rigorous enough to prepare him or her for the university or the workplace. In addition, most public schools will reduce, not enhance, a homeschooled student’s study skills.
This seminar is filled with statistics which show that homeschooled students are better academically prepared and better socialized than their publicly or privately schooled counterparts. Interestingly enough, the academic superiority of homeschooled students GROWS during the high school years. These facts allow Dr. Wile to make a compelling case that the best thing for a homeschooled student is to stay in homeschool, regardless of the parent’s academic abilities.

Teaching Critical Thinking
One of the biggest failures of our public and private school systems is that they do not teach students how to think critically. In this seminar, Dr. Wile gives you specific suggestions as to how you can teach your child to think critically, regardless of the subject matter that the student is learning. You will learn how to help your student evaluate statements, look for hidden assumptions, find political/social agendas, and discover faulty logic. Although Dr. Wile’s area of interest is science, he will show you how critical thinking applies to all academic areas, as well as all facets of your life.

Creation Versus Evolution
In this seminar, Dr. Jay L. Wile, a nuclear chemist, explores the complicated Creation Versus Evolution debate. He discusses Christian attempts to make the Genesis account compatible with the theory of evolution and shows how these attempts fail. The conclusion is that a literal interpretation of Genesis is completely incompatible with the theory of evolution. He then proceeds to show that this is not at all a problem for someone who is both a Christian and a scientist. He presents strong scientific evidence that supports a literal interpretation of Genesis and equally strong scientific evidence that discounts the theory of evolution. He discusses evolutionists’ attempts to explain away this data and how such attempts fail. Perhaps the most intriguing part of this seminar comes when Dr. Wile details some of the fantastic life forms on this planet whose existence can never be explained using the theory of evolution. Regardless of how science-oriented you are, this seminar will strengthen your faith and give you an even deeper appreciation for the marvelous Creation that God has given us.

Creation Versus Evolution: Religion Versus Science or Religion Versus Religion?
In this seminar, Dr. Jay L. Wile, a nuclear chemist, shows that the creation versus evolution debate is really a debate between two religions. He shows that from a scientific method point of view, evolution is no more than an unconfirmed hypothesis. This puts it on the same ground as creation, which is also an unconfirmed hypothesis. He then demonstrates that those who believe in evolution have the same essential characteristics as religious believers. In the end, then, he concludes that the whole concept of evolution is a religious one.

Evolution: The Enemy of Truth and Science
This seminar explores the theory of evolution from an educational viewpoint. Dr. Jay L. Wile, a former university professor and high school teacher, gives a thorough review of the theory of evolution and the philosophical trends that have established it as the dogma of the mainstream scientific community. He gives accounts of the lies promulgated by evolutionists in their attempts to cover up the weakness of their case. He discusses the censorship that occurs daily in our public schools and our institutions of higher learning. This censorship is aimed primarily at creationists, because the bulk of the scientific evidence regarding the origin of life stands firmly in their favor. From the anecdotes told by Dr. Wile to the statistical evidence that he presents, this seminar clearly shows how the proponents of the theory of evolution do all that they can to cover up the truth. This makes them the enemy of science.

The Bible: A Great Source of Modern Science
In this lecture, Dr. Jay L. Wile examines many of the rules and regulations found in the Old Testament and demonstrates how these rules are in perfect agreement with our most modern scientific knowledge. Dr. Wile shows how the rules regarding circumcision are based on medical knowledge that has only been uncovered within the last 30 years; he shows that the Bible knew about germs long before people knew of them; and that the Bible was the first document to contain modern ideas of sanitation. This lecture makes it clear that the Bible was NOT authored by men!

The Earth: Is it Young or Is it Old?
In this seminar, Dr. Jay L. Wile, a nuclear chemist, discusses the age of the earth. The majority of scientists contend that the earth is several billions of years old. In this lecture, however, Dr. Wile demonstrates that this scientific consensus is not based on evidence. By providing detailed critiques of modern dating methods, he clearly shows that science does not point to an earth which is billions of years old. Dr. Wile’s discussion on this point is particularly important, as his Ph.D. studies in nuclear chemistry were done at one of the United States’ premiere radiometric dating laboratories. His knowledge of radiometric dating and how it is used is first-hand, and he can easily show that it simply DOES NOT work! Dr. Wile does not stop there, however. He also gives what he considers to be the top 5 scientific reasons to believe that the earth is young.

Ecohysteria: A Scientist Examines the "Environmentalist" Movement
In this seminar, Dr. Wile discusses the facts related to the environmental debate that is currently raging in America. Dr. Wile does not engage in the emotional hysteria which typically surrounds this topic. Instead, he gives a cool, scientific appraisal of the environmental situation today and shows that, in fact, most of the environmentalists’ claims are completely devoid of scientific merit. Environmental “crises” such as global warming, ozone depletion, overpopulation, and air pollution are, in fact, mostly inventions of extremists, not REAL environmental problems. As you listen to this seminar, you will be amazed at the distortions and lies which the environmentalists and their willing accomplices in the media have reported!

Biological Organisms and Structures That Evolutionists Won't Show You
Although designed for the general audience, biology teachers have reported the most benefit from attending this seminar by Dr. Jay L. Wile, a former university professor. In his talk, Dr. Wile highlights some of the most amazing life forms that exist on this earth. He shows how their complex biological structure and survival mechanisms are powerful evidence for the existence of a creator. He talks about sensory mechanisms in creatures that are infinitely more precise and powerful than the most high-tech gadgetry produced by modern science. He discusses many examples of symbiosis and how evolution can never hope to explain them. Finally, he shows some of the amazing features of the human body to emphasize that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made.”

I Told You That Was Going To Happen!
In this seminar, Dr. Wile explores several Old Testament prophecies which have already come true in history. He demonstrates the incredible detail and accuracy of the prophecies, which were written hundreds of years before the events took place. You will see how the Bible accurately predicted the fates of many famous cities as well as the details regarding the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. In fact, these prophecies are so precise that they actually predict the very day that Christ would enter Jerusalem! The point of the message, of course, is to demonstrate that the Bible could only have been written by God, as God is the only one who knows the future!

Why I Am A Creationist, When So Many Other Scientists Are Not
In this lecture, Dr. Wile uses his development as a scientist to explain why most scientists are not creationists, even though the scientific evidence for creation is so compelling. His frank discussions of indoctrination, discrimination, and bias show quite clearly that most scientists do not reject creationism on the basis of science. If you’ve ever wondered why evolution is so heavily-entrenched in the scientific community, you will want to hear this lecture!

Vaccines: The Real Story
The safety and efficacy of vaccines have been at the center of a growing debate, especially among Christian homeschoolers. In this seminar, Dr. Jay L. Wile gives you the facts about vaccines. Using data that has been gathered from numerous sources, Dr. Wile answers such questions as: “Are vaccines effective?” “Are vaccines safe?” “Do vaccines contain fetal tissue derived from abortions?” “Are the pharmaceutical companies manipulating the data?” If you are wondering whether or not to vaccinate your children, you should definitely attend this seminar.

Ask The Beasts
In this seminar, Dr. Wile talks about Job 12:7-10, which begins
by commanding the reader to "Ask the beasts." In his view, this
Scripture is telling us that we must study nature to fully understand
God. While God's divine revelation (the Bible) is clearly more detailed
and precise than His natural revelation (creation), both are necessary
to have a full and complete understanding God. He gives a bit of
history to show you that this was the motivation for many of the great
scientists of the past, and some great scientists of the present. He
then draws from fields such as astronomy, microbiology, zoology, and
botany to share at least a bit of what science tells us about God.

The Earth: Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
How does a poisonous gas make it possible for life to exist on
earth? Why should we be reminded of God's love for us every time we
look at a compass? Because from the interior structure of the earth to
its atmosphere, our planet has been designed by God so that it is the
perfect place for us to live. In this talk, Dr. Wile discussed the
various design features scientists find in the earth that make it very
clear the earth was not the result of chance!
