Making the case for creationism

Here’s a very discouraging and sad story about a creationism class. Note how the reporter makes no effort to step outside of one source–Mr. Rushton–at all. This story is nothing more than a series of quotes strung together. That’s lazy and irresponsible of the reporter. No excuse for it.

“When I went through high school, they taught us the evolutionary ideas of our origins, how we evolved from molecules to man,” he said. “But I never felt in my heart that was true.”

I would dare to say this man wasn’t learning anything in the class when he was a kid. Nothing.

“They’re only given what we call a naturalistic worldview or the evolutionary worldview when they watch television,” he said.

“You watch the Discovery Channel, you read the National Geographic and we know when you go to the public school the science books only teach the evolutionary ideas. That’s in complete conflict with your Christian belief.”

For Mr. Rushton maybe, but not for everyone.
