The boys are going on four weeks of using the Swedish Rosetta Stone, and they are making remarkable progress. It is truly amazing how 5 to 10 minutes of lessons each day can have such an impact. They are internalizing the language rapidly.
That very impact has made me realize how a daily dose of indoctrination of the world, through history and science classes in public school, and even children's literature, can have a huge impact on our children. It puts them in a very uncomfortable duplicitous mindset and thinking. As Christians they believe that God is their creator, but in order to pass their classes, they need to respond to questions and read assignments that has the agenda of teaching, and the underlying assumption, of evolution. It does not take them long to deny or question creationism and believe in evolution, for no other reason than that they are repeatedly being taught that it is truth by authority figures and possibly being mocked if they offer their belief as an answer. (As a public school teacher, I was privy to hearing this mocking in the teacher's lounge time and time again.)
Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 2 Peter 3:3
I share this with you so that you can be there to support your child(ren) and help them deal with this contradiction and to strengthen their faith and belief system.
A few mornings ago my husband sent me this video clip of Bill Nye: Bill Nye: Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children One of his colleagues (a biology teacher) sent it to him trying to change my husband's beliefs… The clip is creepy and should be a concern for all Christian parents. Nye offers no proof of his beliefs only scapegoating and condemnation of parents with a statement that the United States needs our children. Bill Nye is worshipped in the world of science education and, according to my youngest son, his videos are used as part of science classes in elementary school. He has an agenda!
To Creationists, Bill Nye says, "And I say to the grown ups, if you want to deny evolution and live in your world, in your world that's completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that's fine, but don't make your kids do it because we need them. We need scientifically literate voters and tax payers for the future. We need people that can, we need engineers that can build stuff, solve problems."
He even blames us for holding people back by not believing in evolution. As parents we are condemned and blamed for the lack of scientific progress.
Notice that he ends by saying, "There's no evidence for it."
The evidence for creationism is endless, Bill Nye. And, the most beautiful thing is that none of creation evidence needs to be fabricated. Just look at the fraudulent evolution evidence that continues to be displayed in museums and our textbooks to prove evolution. Haeckel's drawings of embryos to prove evolution were faked, and these very drawings that he admitted, in the late 1800s, to faking, could still be found in textbooks as proof of evolution. Why? Or Marsh's made up table of horse evolution that continued to be used in textbooks and the Chicago Field Museum, even after it was found to be a fraud, as proof of evolution. Why? How about the peppered moths? They were glued onto a tree to prove a theory. Why? In addition, creationism does not need to use "circular reasoning" to explain time such as dating fossils by rocks and dating rocks by fossils or dating strata by bones and bones by strata; we can look to the Bible for creation, time and fossils. We can explain fossils by the flood and time by simply reading the genealogy of the bible.
Bill Nye, perhaps you need to have a scientific debate with Ken Ham or Kent Hovind.
And, Bill Nye, you may continue to believe your religion but, with all due respect, you may not have my children, nor will I ever tell them that it is okay for them to deny their creator just so they can follow the religion of evolution, for the sake of our country. They are citizens of heaven first. Perhaps what our country needs most right now is to return to a moral compass based on God's word, which is how it was started… Or, perhaps we could simply start by eliminating all the false evidence and illogical proof for evolution--let's look at the facts and truth.
See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. Colossians 2:8
The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
