“Contrary to what many Christians have been led to believe, there is no such thing as a ‘neutral’ education. The overwhelming majority of children from evangelical families leave the church
within two years after they graduate from high school …” And even as far back as 1994, Australian Students for Christ chaplain, Craig Tasker noted “This [creation] is a vital subject at uni [college]. Since the institution’s philosophy of education is secular humanism. Thus students are bombarded with it in every lecture as the basic assumption. This constant ‘brainwashing’ destroys the faith of many Christians each year. Our surveys indicate that 80% of first year students believe in a God who is there. By their second year only 15% believe in God.”And more recently, a confidential survey by Barna Research showed that while still sitting in our pews, 2 out of 3 young ‘Christians’ had already made their minds up they were going to leave the church once they left home.
....it is the foundational intellectual challenges and doubts about the Christian faith and the Bible that are not being answered. And there is nothing more foundational in the Bible than the early chapters of Genesis—the very chapters that will be attacked the most by secular, higher education,....
The surveys showed there is an ‘easy fix’ to avoid the problems— teach your young ones creation!"
