'The Journey Never Taken' — Episode Descriptions

• Episodes 1-2. The Journey Never Taken: Parts I & II
  The Polar Star Medallion, awarded to Carl Linnaeus in 1758, mysteriously arrives at the Brenan Museum of Creation. Attached to the medallion is a puzzling clue that sends the Creation Response Team on an exciting scavenger hunt—beginning at Linnaeus’ home in Sweden! Meanwhile, the team is tailed by two unidentified men who will stop at nothing to get their hands on the medallion!
• Episodes 3-4. The Mysterious Host: Parts I & II
  The Creation Response Team members finds themselves tracking through the eerie Père-Lachaise Graveyard in France, as they continue to search for the Polar Star Treasure. Back in Boston, Benjamin Park leads the Junior Response Team to the top of the Old South Meeting House during a horrible storm that transports them back to a clue from the 1800s. This clue begins to unveil the identity of the unknown host of the hunt. And, crack reporter Trenton Wells and puzzle expert Mitch Hubbard, both of the London Harbinger Newspaper, join the competition to find the treasure!
• Episodes 5-6. The Pirates of Whitby: Parts I & II
  The clues seem to be taking the men of the Creation Response Team onboard the HMS Endevour—the vessel once piloted by Captain Cook. The voyage leads to an attack by modern-day pirates who kidnap the men and take them to the Isle of May to search for the treasure. During the midst of a pirate mutiny they realize they’ve made a grave error that may result in the treasure landing in the hands of Trenton and Mitch. With no ability to communicate, the men’s only hope is that the ladies of the CRT can unravel a clue found at Bartley Lodge—the childhood home of Charles Lyell!
• Episodes 7-8. The Search for the Beagle: Parts I & II
  One of the most famous voyages of all time was Charles Darwin’s expedition to the Galapagos on the HMS Beagle. There was one more voyage, followed by a coast guard assignment, before the notorious vessel disappeared from history. That’s bad news for the Creation Response Team, who just discovered that the next clue in the Polar Star Scavenger Hunt is buried in its hull! They must beat Trenton and Mitch in a race to rediscover the Beagle!
• Episodes 9-10. The Chosen Four: Parts I & II
  The latest clue lists four names — Miklos Lanick, Jiri Novak, Harvey Littleton, and Milton Puttock—that’s it. Who are these men, and when and where did they live? The Creation Response Team must decode the mystery behind each and find out what they have in common before the next clue will be revealed. But can they beat out their competition? It seems even less likely when Trenton and Mitch are joined by the CRT’s greatest nemesis!
• Episodes 11-12. Hunt for the Priceless Treasure: Parts I & II
  Legends of tunnels under the colleges of Cambridge, England have been told for years. Now, as the international Darwin celebration takes place in the city, the Creation Response Team discovers an underground world through an airlock beneath the River Cam. Every corner provides new challenges below as Benjamin and the Junior Response Team guide them from above. The world is watching as the teams wonder whether this secret passage may be the final resting place of the Polar Star Treasure!

the following 3 books will guide you:

1.   your Bible. — for the foundations of our faith and worldview

2.  Webster’s 1828 Dictionary-To help you define your words and build your vocabulary in terms of that Christian worldview

3.   For You They Signed by Marilyn Boyer -to help your children understand and defend the  providence of God in American history and be thankful for the gift of liberty He has given to them.

Here is why: For You They Signed is an answer to the  historical revisionism dominating the schools and media today. Our founding fathers were not atheists.   Read MORE...
