Do You Know What You Know?

I'm a geek. I know it. I really enjoy studying and learning, so with that background, you can understand my fascination with the Sunday School class my dad (a former theistic evolutionist and lover of science) has been teaching on creation and evolution. We've been learning that there are just piles of scientific evidence that support the theory of a Designer creating this amazing universe that we live in. We took a field trip this weekend to the Creation Museum in Kentucky -- a visual portfolio of the things we've learned over the months that we've been studying. I took my kiddos because I want them to understand that people interpret science based on their belief -- in a God or no God. Evolution is as much as a belief as creation is. It's as simple as that. The museum does a terrific job of walking people through the differences, and highlighting some of the vast evidence that supports a Designer.

For example, do you know . . .
evidence has been found to support that dinosaurs and people co-existed (and for a time, all dinosaurs were plant-eaters)? But after The Fall (in the Garden of Eden): Beware!

Do you know . . .
not one single missing link has ever been found? There have been times evolution-minded scientists thought they found something, but it was discovered later that either they were wrong or that they actually falsified their findings (ouch!). So, rest assured, your children really aren't monkeys.

Do you know . . .
there aren't several races? Just one. Acceptance of evolution only helped to perpetuate further division between people groups. And did you know all the genetic material we need to be totally human is present at conception? The acceptance of evolution and the false belief that we are only human once we are born has killed billions of babies through abortion.

Do you know . . .
evidence supports a catastrophic event of the earth, such as the biblical account of a world-wide flood?

Do you know . . .
that there are problems with radioisotopic dating methods? A rock that was known to be 11 years old (new lava) dated greater than 350,000 years.

Do you know . . .
lizards are surprisingly photogenic? (Sorry. He just looked awfully cute -- had to share. Besides, he's God's creation too.)

Do you know . . .
The Princess really wants a dinosaur? Too bad the flood killed off so many of them (and the extreme climate change afterwards did most of the rest of them in).

Do you know . . .
what you believe and why?
