Coming to a School Near You:
Darwinism in the Classroom
If you believe the biblical account of creation and the origin of man, what strategies can you as parents and students use when confronted with the theory of evolution?
by David Treybig
If you believe the Bible’s explanation of the origin of the universe and mankind— that God made humans in His image— what should you do as a parent or student? What can you do to deal with teachers who require students to learn Darwinism?
From the outset it is important to do your homework, so to speak. Understand that proponents of the theory of evolution often pit the Bible against science. They describe science as the logical, intelligent, rational choice because of its systematic attention to observation and experimentation. The contrast they imply is that the Bible is merely a fable generated by primitive peoples to explain their existence. Some will subtly, but mistakenly, imply that science disproves the Bible.
Actually, between the Bible and Darwin- ism, the evidence is decidedly in the Bible’s favor. Darwin and his early supporters admitted that they lacked hard evidence, but they believed that evidence would eventually be discovered to support their beliefs.
For example, they believed that fossil evidence would be discovered that would show the mutations that had allegedly evolved various species of animals into new species. But, in spite of more than a century of diligent searching, such “missing link” fossils are still missing. The flaws in Darwin’s theories, some of which Darwin acknowledged himself, remain. His hypothesis has remained unproven ever since it was first proposed.
