God’s creation is the truth of faith closest to man. The course aims at the theological deepening of this truth, enabling to strengthen the faith and confess it consciously in the Creed of the Church as well as passing it to others. The testimony of such faith is particularly important for contemporary people, fascinated by earthly life, and placing themselves in the centre of the universe, without the existential reference to the Creator. As a result, people use earthly goods in an egoistic way, almost totally neglecting the aim of creation, which is God’s glory and reaching eternal salvation.
