America’s Pagan Classrooms

Intended or not, worldviews are being formed.

  We could probably think of many possible reasons for the unrest and turmoil taking place in our country in this twenty-first century, but I believe the main underlying cause is spiritual. Without a strong spiritual foundation there is bound to be moral, educational and political deterioration, as well as cultural chaos and confusion. The enemy of God is strategically clever by taking our educational institutions hostage in order to promote a humanistic evolutionary philosophy. If I were Satan and I wanted to come up with a philosophy to influence people away from belief in the Bible and a Creator, especially the young, what better philosophy is there than evolution? What better philosophy than one that convinces people they evolved from a lower form of life such as apes. What better philosophy than one that says all of life and humans are products of unplanned random mutations, and therefore not accountable to a Creator God?

Belief in evolution (it is a philosophical belief) provides no foundation for the establishing of right and wrong values. Morality becomes a matter to be decided individually with no absolute guide—except the absolute freedom to decide for oneself! It frees people from any spiritual or moral constraint for the conducting of their personal lives, and gives them liberty to do whatever they can get away with within the bounds of the culture they live in. This is what colleges and universities are teaching our young Americans based on evolution’s humanistic atheistic philosophy. An alarming fact is that hundreds of humanistic college and university professors are purposely fostering hatred of America in the minds of their students, and we should realize that intellectually-sounding professors are very intimidating to the average 18-to-24-year-old. We should make our college students aware of the fact that mere intellectualism in a particular discipline does not necessarily translate into wisdom. Some people who are generally recognized as highly intellectual because of their expertise in a certain area are often unable to make wise decisions for basic everyday living, and yet at the same time those professing belief in evolution are absolutely sure there is no God. I refer to such deceived intellectuals as victims of their own intellect!

We could well ask ourselves the question: What exactly does America stand for today? We know what it stood for from the beginning of this nation when the Constitution and the laws of this land were respected and based on biblical principles. But what about now? Are students in colleges and universities taught the history of America with respect for its Judeo-Christian biblical
foundation? This, I believe, would now be rare if at all.

 A subject that is now considered politically incorrect would be for a professor or teacher to extol the virtues and value of America’s biblical foundation.  Liberal educators seem to take delight in ridiculing those who believe in God and especially those who accept the Genesis account of origins as real history.  One student I know who attended a local college told me his teacher stated publicly before the whole class, “If there is anyone here who doesn’t believe in evolution you are stupid.” Teachers like this are using their influence to plant seeds of doubt in the minds of millions of young people. They have a captive audience, and by continual repetition and apparent intellectual support for
their liberal anti-God worldview, they are literally turning young Christian people (not to mention non-Christians) away from their Christian biblical heritage to an anti-American, anti-Bible, and anti-God worldview. Contrary to the teacher who said anyone who doesn’t believe in evolution is stupid, Dr. Gary Parker, biologist and geologist states: “Evolution is not science, never
will be science, and never could be science. As a story about the past promoting human opinion above God’s Word, evolution is really philosophic naturalism—‘humanism dressed up in a lab coat’” (Gary Parker. Building Blocks in Science. Master Books: Green Forest AR. 2007. 24).

In case my readers are not fully aware of current influences affecting our Christian youth in America, here is a fact discovered through professionally conducted surveys (See Already Gone by Ken Ham and Britt Beemer. Master Books: Green Forest AR. 2012). Two-thirds of young people who have been raised in conservative evangelical Christian churches are dropping out of church and are walking away from their Christian faith when old enough to decide for themselves. This is something that has never been seen before in American history—two out of three college age young people are exiting church and leaving the Christian faith! What is causing such an alarming exodus of young people from churches and their previously professed evangelical Christian faith? I would suggest it is because they are not prepared for the onslaught of non-biblical evolutionary humanistic philosophy presented as fact—supposedly supported by real science. The Apostle Paul warned about the possibility of some straying from the truth, and the need for followers of Christ to be alert to the cunning deceptive ploys of Satan:

“O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science [Greek= knowledge] falsely so called: which some professing have erred concerning the faith” (1 Timothy 6:20,21, KJV).

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles [schemes] of the devil” (Ephesians 6:10,11, NKJV).

Whether our young people are “strong in the Lord” or not, they can still be deceived even though they profess to be born-again Christians. We cannot deny this possibility because it is actually happening. The false evolutionary philosophy can be a powerful stumbling block for our Christian young people to overcome. They need answers to the pertinent questions, and usually they
are not getting these answers in church. We should all be praying for a genuine Holy Spirit revival among our church youth, and we should believe that it can happen by the grace of God.

This is where a biblical creation ministry comes into play. I have observed what happens to young people who become interested in learning and studying biblical creationism. They get excited and motivated to study for themselves when they discover information from the sciences that confirms the historical record of the Bible. When they realize they can actually believe the Genesis account of creation as real literal history, and that real science— whether biology, astronomy, geology, paleontology, chemistry, or archaeology—also supports the accuracy and reliability of the Bible, they are greatly encouraged in their faith. This is our mission at Creation Experience Museum. Thank you for your prayers and support.
