Most of the problems we encounter later in our lives stem from things that began when we were very young. Mistakes and misconceptions that were fertilized and encouraged to grow, can often cause us great harm as we age. Often, if seems like a small thing at first, even innocent. For example, teaching children about the tooth fairy or Easter Bunny may seem fun and harmless, but there will come a day when that child wants and needs real answers. No sane adult still believes in the tooth fairy or Santa Clause, so that means at some point in their lives they were introduced to the evidence of reality. There was a moment that they discovered for themselves that it had all been "pretend." For a while, they may have felt like that victim of everyone's joke. All the adults (including their parents) had known and was involved in encouraging them to believe a lie.
In some skewered way of thinking, we might chalk this up as a real "life lesson." While Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny tend to go away quickly, there are some things that will take much longer. Allowing children to learn and accept the Evolutionary Theory from a very small age is a well documented mistake. The "fend for yourself" mentality of the teaching can shape and mold young minds far more than we realize. While liberal scientists like to promote the theory as basically proven fact, and force our attention away from the obvious flaws and holes, we are often fooled into believing that this teaching will go no farther than the classroom.
History has proven that to be utterly false. Many might not realize that Adolph Hitler studied and fully accepted Darwin's theory of evolution as a young painter. This adamant belief in "survival of the fittest" is what he cited as his entire justification of a perfect race. Hitler believed he was merely fulfilling the ultimate will of evolution, doing his part to assure the perfectly evolved race would come about more quickly.
It never ceases to amaze me at the "Christian" parents and teachers that seem totally willing to allow this poison to enter young minds. With some vague argument like "separation of church and state" or a line like "let them make up their own minds," the heart and soul of our children are simply turned over to the wiles of the Devil.
Remember, the Serpent is more subtle than any beast of the field. In the garden, in the beginning of it all, his very first attempt to destroy our relationship with God was to deceive Eve into doubting God's word. "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" (Genesis 3:1) Eve was quick to jump at the seed of doubt offered to her, in order to obtain what her eyes had seen and desired. We are no different today.
In order to appear modern and "up to date," we jump at scientific jargoon that encourages us to doubt the very Word of God. We try and become "progressive" Christians, mixing evolution and Creation. We reason in ourselves that, "maybe it didn't happen the way I have always thought and been taught. I still believe in God and no matter how it happened, we really know God did it."
But that is not true. The Holy Bible very clearly states the process of Creation. We even know the order in which the animals and mankind was created. There is no reason to guess or doubt. Either we believe God at His word, or we don't. If we don't, then the blood of Jesus Christ cannot cover our sins for the Scripture states that, "whosoever BELIEVETH in him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) To believe is an absolute necessity. There is no way to half believe in Jesus Christ. Either we do or we don't: simple as that.
We do not have to be rich or poor to enter Heaven. We do not have to be able to read and write. It is not important whether our friends and peers consider us well read or intelligent. The only ultimately important requirement is that we believe on Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins and take Him at His word.
"Keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen." (1 Timothy 6:20-21)
