Sadly, much of the culture does not agree with this. How many couples do you know who elect to remain childless so that they can spend their money on themselves only? I know quite a few.
We also chose the private Christian school route. Here a number of views were shared by those who believed those views...Creationism (of which I.D. is a form thereof), Gap-Theory, and theistic and non-theistic Evolution. More than giving evolution a passing..."it's true, there is no God, move on" approach of the local public school...students explored the fossil record, probability and plain and simply put: What we know and what we DON'T know (which is more than what many scientists...and I am one...will admit) about evolution and how it works. Given all the information available, kids are less apt to be swayed by those who are on the extremes (4004 BC vs. there is 0% chance of God), and leave with an appreciation of scientic method...and an open mind to consider new information. BTW...Liberals today are the most "conservative" closed-minded people on Earth.
And you may, in fact, be wildly wrong about those who you think "elect" to be childless.
I know quite a few also, but as I have gotten to know some of them better, I have found that more than a few of them tried like hell to have kids, tried IVF, and nothing worked.
Just a thought.
"How many couples do you know who elect to remain childless so that they can spend their money on themselves only? I know quite a few."
Or the couple who has a child and immediately throws the infant into day care, so that Mommy & Daddy can continue making car payments and buying more material BS. I know many parents who simply choose to not make sacrifices for their new child(ren)...but then complain when 'the state' doesn't make sacrifices for their children.
Based on your own view of these couples, would you want them to have children? And what is wrong with being childless if it is a concious choice?
