Disingenuous Classroom Evolutionists

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen

There are numerous reports of Christian and creationist students facing ridicule and harassment in secular schools from Darwin apparatchiks, and these are the ones paid to allegedly educate them. The fact that these sidewinders attack positions they dislike shows their bias, and it is the opposite of teaching.

Christians and creationists in educational settings often have to face intimidation from their instructors. The harassment from them is a con game.

Something to which biblical creationists are subjected is a barrage of questions from a scoffer that runs the gamut of scientific disciplines, theology, philosophy, and so on. Somehow, anti-creationists proclaim that there is no God or that biblical creation science is faulty if someone does not have all the answers to every question (many of which are fallacious, such as the complex question); we do not have every answer to every question. Nobody does. If you ask me something about God or creation science that I can't answer, it only means that I do not have the answer. 

On a related note, some tinhorns will say that you are not a Christian if you do not meet their arbitrary standards, therefore, you are a liar and biblical creation is false. These intellectually dishonest folks are smart enough to be amazingly dishonest, and there is no need to be buffaloed by those who hate the truth and authority of Scripture.


In the same way, secularists do not have all the answers, either. There are disagreements about speciation, some scientists rejectt dinosaur-to-bird evolution, there are scientists who reject Darwin, the Big Bang has numerous versions because of the many problems, whether or not australopithecines are human ancestors, and so on. However, they still accept evolution even though they do not have all the answers. Indeed, they believe evolution despite the appalling lack of evidence, and their incoherent worldviews cannot withstand prodding.


Many instructors in the public education indoctrination organizations (commonly known as schools) saddle up a corral-full of logical fallacies, demand that some students know all of the answers, intimidate the students, and proclaim victory when a question or doubt goes unanswered. They are disingenuous, and utilize many manipulative tacticsYes, we know what you do. Deal with it, hippies!

Students do not need to have their belief system shaken by secularists, whether in academia or in other places. Like science (and all of life), we do not have all the answers, but biblical creationists do have a valid and coherent worldview.
Many Christian students in secular universities can relate to this scenario: An evolutionist college professor is doing his best to convince his class that biblical creation is absurd. . . .

One of the unspoken assumptions behind this barrage of questions is that you shouldn’t hold a particular worldview unless you know the answers to all possible objections. If a student can’t answer on the spot every objection the instructor throws out, it’s seen as evidence that biblical creation is inherently irrational.

However, this is an intellectual con job. Knowing the answers to all possible questions would require perfect knowledge, which none of us possesses. If one follows this logic to its natural conclusion, it means that no one—evolutionist or creationist—is allowed to hold any kind of worldview!
