Christianity vs Darwinism in Education
The result of rejecting Christianity and replacing it with Darwinism, exemplified in the life of the ardent evolutionist Michael Ruse, has been disastrous. Ruse writes that his conclusion was: “You are born. You live. Then you die. In the end, you know truly that it doesn’t mean a thing.” What a pathetic feeling to have at the end of one’s life!
In the end, Ruse’s attempt to determine if Darwinism is a religion that will satisfy mankind’s craving for justice, love, purpose and meaning concludes: “[T]he Darwinian world is a bleak world, indeed.”
On the other hand, Atomic Biology is not religion. It is pure science, supported by research, experiment, experience, logic, common sense and history. It gives us reasons to appreciate how much we are cared for by our reliable Creator, Sustainer, Maintainer, Advisor, Friend and Mentor. What a great difference!
Belief in evolution as the cause of life requires immense faith, for we know how brilliant and complex life is; this makes evolution as much a religion as any other belief requiring faith.
The huge difference is that the proponents of evolution have managed to arrange for teachers and professors to be the preachers of their religion, and to use our public schools, colleges and universities as their churches. This should be illegal!

Revisiting The Christian Mind
“America needs a shot of intellectual insulin directly to its oft-sleepy mind,” writes Harry Blamires, calling out to Christians to think again. To Blamires, Jesus is not some spongy source of giddy joy. He is the Christ—the hope of ‘hard-boiled’ secularity.” Thus wrote Calvin Miller of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, commenting on Harry Blamires’ 1963 book The Christian Mind.
Learn more about Compass Community Learning Centres
Compass Community Learning Centres have begun a peaceful revolution in education: combining Classical Education—which includes the trivium [Logic, Rhetoric and Grammar] and the quadrivium [Music, Astronomy, Geometry and Arithmetic] with a truly biblical worldview; plus modern studies like Media Awareness, Art, Civics, Physical Education; and traditional studies like Reading, Writing and Arithmetic, students at CCLC campuses are offered a vastly superior preparation for facing the rapidly-changing world into which they will grow up.
Those who would disciple the nations should start with the next generation, ensuring that its worldview is Biblical.
