I do not wish to disparage the affects of Darwinism on society, but the primary reasons that the youth are leaving Christianity are (1) the poor example of parents. (2) the heretical teachings of liberal Christian denominations. (3) the lack of knowledge about doctrine.

Bingo!
” do not wish to disparage the affects of Darwinism on society, but the primary reasons that the youth are leaving Christianity are (1) the poor example of parents. (2) the heretical teachings of liberal Christian denominations. (3) the lack of knowledge about doctrine.”
I agree with you especially #1. I’d also add because believing and following God’s word is hard, there is not always an immediate positive feedback for doing whats right and bad things do happen to which there is often not a logical or comforting answer. Also, society as a whole places significant value on the financially wealthy and famous but doesn’t see (or ignores) the moral bankruptcy of the majority of these individuals.
“(2) the heretical teachings of liberal Christian denominations.”
That is EXACTLY what the author of this book, the author of the book I am reading (Ken Ham), and this article is about.
When we have Christians teaching that evolution is compatible with Genesis, we will have youths leaving the Church.
