The Creation Science Curriculum: Evolution or Intelligent Design?

In 1859, Charles Darwin published his revolutionary work, On the Origin of the Species.  In it he proposed that life as we know it evolved over a great length of time by a haphazard, fully natural process called natural selection. Now, over 150 years later, Darwin’s legacy dominates biology; yet his ideas are not unopposed, and the opposition has never been stronger.  Since the beginning, religious people have rejected evolution in favor of creationism: the idea that God created life.  And now, in the last 20 years, the Intelligent Design movement has created a powerful non-religious case for opposing evolution.  Are the critics of evolution just religious zealots, incapable of being rational or scientific?  Or was Darwin right?

It’s more than just an intellectual debate.  Whether or not life was a mere accident has a huge impact on law, culture, ethics, and every imaginable aspect of life.  The question is whether human beings are image-bearers of God that deserve respect, or just glorified monkeys that are only valuable to the extent that they contribute to society;and the answer could not be more important for the future of the human race.  But is there even a question about which side is right when all respectable scientists seem to accept evolution?  Actually, the tide is turning.  More and more scientists are realizing that evolution does not offer all the answers. But in schools and the media, no critics of evolution are allowed any hearing.  Are the nation’s young people condemned evolutionary indoctrination?

Educate For Life is a non-profit organization dedicated to Christian apologetics training for high school-aged youths, so that they can be confident in the truth of their faith.  One area that we specialize in is intelligent design education.  Our creation science curriculum uses solid evidence to show students that life has God’s fingerprints all over it, and that no unintelligent process could possibly account for it.  We are also newly offering a worldview curriculum that examines the evidence for various world religions.View our apologetics course offerings today at www.educateforlife.org, and counter indoctrination with truth.
