There’s no limit to what humans will do to avoid accountability. They will contort themselves into all sorts of strange and horrible positions to deny the existence of a God who’ll one day judge them for what they’ve done to themselves and to others.
Darwinian evolution, the absurd theory that magnificent life is based on random chance and developed through genetic mutations (which are harmful to the organism, by the way — X-Men is only entertainment), is taught in government schools as if it were the gospel. In my opinion, it takes much more faith to believe in macroevolution than to believe a Creator designed the universe with purpose.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the Texas School Board is set to vote on a new science curriculum that challenges the theory of evolution. Good luck with that. Some people who believe in evolution are so vehemently against any alternatives, they resent others even asking questions that raise doubts about the theory or point out weaknesses. They don’t want it challenged, debated, or examined. Great way to teach young people how to think.
While I believe Christians and the like-minded should take their kids out of government schools altogether, I applaud the effort to inject real debate and common sense into the government school curriculum.
