I wonder how the CA Univ. would feel about a Christian Student who was taught BOTH Creationism, and the Theory of Evolution? IMHO, that is what these Christian schools should be doing in regards to evolution/creation. In order to truly debate a subject you must know “both sides”.
It would be a win-win for the students - they can attend whatever college they would like, and still get the foundational education their parents want for them (faith-based). Plus, they will have been taught critical thinking skills - something seriously lacking in most public education curriculums.
ALL:
One thing I’ve always wondered about... In Genesis it states that God made the animals “each after their kind”... I’ve always wondered if this refers to a natural evolution of some sort (God doesn’t need to be taken out of this equation!)? Meaning that God instilled some basic apparatus in our DNA for adaptation to our environment. It would take a while to completely explain my views on this as they are definitely a mix of creationism, and SOME parts of evolution theory - but I definitely do NOT think we evolved from APES!
What exactly is a kind?
It is a common misconception by those not familiar with evolution to believe that evolution teaches that we evolved from apes and repeat this fallacy.
