ID LETTER OF THE DAY
It’s still all about the science:
Bible-believing parents should instruct children
Reports on the Pennsylvania school district that decided not to include intelligent design with the theory of evolution in its biology curriculum got me thinking. First, I believe in the biblical account of creation. While it distresses me that schools refuse to include the intelligent design argument alongside Darwin’s theory, the ultimate responsibility of teaching children about intelligent design belongs to parents.
Parents who believe in the biblical account of creation need to teach their own children what they believe. It’s never too early to teach children about God’s creation. Then when children encounter Darwin’s theory in school, parents need to help their children challenge it and see how it measures up to the biblical account of creation.
After all, by giving students different viewpoints, you’re encouraging critical thinking skills.
