What do you believe in?

Postby marrisha » Sun Sep 14, 2008 6:57 am

I'm just curious...what do you believe in and what to you teach your children about-CREATION or EVOLUTION?

Evolution.

ETA: We teach evolution as the scientific theory it is, and explain creationism as a hypothesis. Eventually we'll explain how the word theory differs in the literary sense from the scientific sense, and how it pertains to creationism being called a theory.

Creationism as the truth from the unfaliable Word of God!

I explain evolution as the absurd nonsense taught by the public school system and not based on facts or evidence. I refer to materials by Don Bierle of FaithSearch International and Answers in Genesis to back up this viewpoint.

We teach Creationism.

All things point to our Creator.

What a wonderful world He has given us to explore and discover.

We are "thinking God's thoughts after Him."

We teach a version of Intelligent Design/Creationism. We do teach about the theory of Evolution both micro and macro. We examen all sides of the issue but everything goes back to God being the Creator. We teach that Creation was done in 6 days (but also we can not completely say what a day to God is).

The boys believe that God created it all, and they are the ones that quickly point out the anomalies of evolution. I here things like "but that couldn't have evolved that way" Or "why do people think that this was an accident?" I tell them both the theories, why I believe what I do, and they show me things I didn't even think of as contradictions in the evolutionary thought.
They are only 10, and 8.

Well, as I'm only 18, I cannot say what my own children are being taught, unless of course, you count my horses as children, but that's another story in itself. I was raised a Christian and taught Creationist.

But I have pondered both and not take it as blind theory. I fully believe in the creation of the world by God. I don't always understand certain aspects, such as how God has always been or eternity is in fact eternity, but I've come to realize, their are a good many things the human mind cannot comphrehend went it come to questions of existence.

I believe that even Creationists should know a bit about Evolution because otherwise, we cannot reasonably debate with Evolutionists if we don't have what they believe.
It's the problem horses that have the most to teach us about not only riding, but about life.

My kids have been exposed to both. I don't have an agenda on these two ideas.
