Does It Matter What World View We Teach Our Children? ( A comparative analysis )

                                  DO YOU MEAN THIS IS ALL THERE IS ?

   Henry David Thoreau said " Most men lead lives of quiet desperation". This is multiplied many times over when it comes to children. There always seems to be those children who are singled out for daily abuse and ridicule. They are punched, bullied and tormented at home and school, for things that are usually no fault of their own. Many children suffer with illness that science has yet to find a cure. Children are the first to suffer in dysfunctional and dug addicted families. They are often orphaned in war and famine. I think it matters a great deal what world view they are taught at school.
    It matters little to most of us who live in privilege and popularity what is taught in school. As long as our children are comfortable and able to cope it doesn't really matter. After all isn't natural selection and survival of the fittest played out everyday everywhere?  In school hallways, classrooms and playgrounds. The same is true in our adult world. The reason we excel is because we are more fit, Why not teach children they can not count on any justice or mercy from God ,or anything that extends past the limits of scientific knowledge. Only the weak minded or uneducated believe in the Biblical God. Science has proven there is no such things as divine miracles. The Biblical creator has been found a phony by science. If these things are not taught out right, they are certainly implied.
   I have often thought in times of great stress or sorrow; atheism, evolution and agnosticism are the indulgence of the pampered rich folk not suitable for those of us who live in the real world..I know this is not always the case, many nonbelievers suffer; often with hopelessness because they do not know there is a remedy in the Biblical God. To someone who believes this present life is all there is. It is maddening to see justice deferred and merited reward not forthcoming. They end up hating a God they neither know or believe in.
   The secular world view has no more to offer our children than the prospect of being at the fickle mercy and compassion of those around them. There is no remedy beyond man for the often grossly unfair genetic luck of the draw, or the horrible circumstance they find themselves in. If science is all you can hope for and it doesn't deliver in your lifetime, tough luck, your over. If your grievances or case are not heard in this life, well that is just the way it is. Secularism is the natural byproduct of  evolutionary thinking. It is it's only logical conclusion. If the God of the Bible can not get the creation story right; what chance is there He can deliver on justice, mercy, divine intervention and eternal life?
    The great moral principles shared by most Americans are Biblical in origin; whether it is acknowledged or not. The very same Bible that teaches the creation account, teaches,wrongs will be made right, we will be healed, if not here, then in the next life. Meekness, kindness and charity have an eternal reward. while cruelty violence and immorality will be punished. The Bible offers forgiveness for the repentant and mercy for the ignorant. All things that are every bit as important to a society as any subject taught in school.
    Teaching evolutionary thought while excluding all other world views did  not make the Soviet Union or any other secular dictatorship a better place to be. When they prohibited any reference to God and the Bible in their schools and public square. It only opened the door to more human depravity and misery.
    Children who are victims both at home and in society at large learn very quickly; that depending upon the justice and sympathy of their fellow man is often futile. When our children are taught that the only thing to be counted on is what we see. That the cosmos is all there is and ever will be. Why not take vengeance into their  own hand. After all the just God portrayed in the Bible can not be counted relevant when it comes to origins, why would He be relevant when it comes to anything else. Historically secularism has stifled altruism, self-denial and mercy of all kinds. It leads to hopelessness and often violence among those who are not blessed with an easy or happy life.
    A secular world view does not teach our children, there is a just and compassionate being who is greater and more merciful than their tormentors or misfortune. These things are as important to know as reading and writing.. In secular teaching there is no promise of physical or mental wholeness in the future; or that those who torment them now will be held accountable; whether they are caught and tried in this life or not. What could be more important for a child suffering from misfortune to know, or be taught than; there is a just God in heaven who sees and cares.
   Here lies the rub. Can we depend on a secular god that used billions of years of death and misery as a vehicle to create the world around us? How can such a god be trusted? If he would do that, who is to say he won't use billions of years of torment and misery after we die to usher us into heaven. Evolution's god knows nothing of mercy, justice and compassion. These attributes belong to the Biblical God who created everything perfectly without suffering in 6 literal days. A God that needs millions of years of suffering and death to create.Is not worthy of anything but contempt.
    Evolution's god is the god of a short fight for survival and then death. No promise of physical and spiritual wholeness lived out in eternity. Anything that can not be explained by science is rejected... No hope of a miraculous recovery from illness apart from what can be done by man, either  for us or those we love .No miracles, no divine intervention in our misery. No Savior to forgive us and pay for our sin. No punishment for the unrepentant cruel or violent person. And no reward for those who live in humble meekness and obedience to a merciful God. Evolution's god can not do anything we can't do.It is bound by our limited knowledge of science and human attributes.
   Many have attempted to wed Christianity with evolution, mainly because of lack of knowledge,and often because of the fear of ridicule, sometimes both. I am going to place my trust in the Biblical Creator. If a god is so limited he can act only within the bounds of mankind's meager knowledge of science. That god does not have the power to miraculously save me or forgive me, or raise me and my loved ones from the dead. The god of evolution is a toothless god without the power to punish sin or reward the repentant..
    If the god of evolution is bound by man's knowledge he is too bound up to create in perfection a new heavens and new earth. My God, the Biblical God has the power to do exactly what He said He did in Genesis, and do what he says He will do in Revelation. To say because I can't create a world in 6 days or walk on water or heal the blind, means the God of the universe or His divine Son can't either.. Is folly that borders on madness. Why would anyone want to worship or teach children to worship a god no more powerful then themselves?
