What Does It Mean to be a Lutheran Youth… When It Comes to Science Class and Evolution?

Social Humiliation—the feeling that you are all alone on stage, and completely being completely embarrassed while everyone is laughing at you. This is one of the most distressing fears for many teens. Perhaps you can remember a time when you have felt like all eyes were on you and you just didn’t know the right thing to say.
Would it surprise you if I told you that this same principle of social humiliation is being manipulated by science teachers and supporters of evolutionary theory? Secular teachers and “scientists” in white lab coats have been trying to socially ridicule Christians who believe in the Bible’s account of a six-day creation for years and years. “Experts” in the field of biology or archeology use threatening, hostile language in an attempt to scrutinize and ridicule the validity of Creation research. Those same experts have a long history of attempting to force Christian scientists out of the venue of academic discussion. In classrooms all over the world, students are being bombarded with a farfetched myth that starts something like, “Once upon a time a hundred billion million years ago, there was a massive explosion.”
Perhaps you have been in a classroom and felt this uncomfortable experience already. Maybe you have had a biology teacher make a degrading joke about their perception of the stupidity of the Biblical view of creation. Movies, newspapers, and television shows are filled with pro-evolution propaganda. The intent is to surround us Christians with so much information and instill so much doubt that we are ridiculed and humiliated into believing that the only plausible, logical explanation is to accept evolution.
This persuasive technique used by evolutionary scientists is not based on sound science. Nope. Instead, they rely on attempting to embarrass you into believing that you are the only one left on the face of this earth who would actually believe in that nonsense called “creation.”
The next time you feel humiliated, embarrassed, or “on stage” when your Christian understanding of creation is called into question, remember that you are never alone. First, God’s Word does not lie and it says that God created the universe. Second, a large community of Christian scientists has gathered a significant amount of empirical evidence that supports the theory of Divine design. The Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, is filled with scientific proof behind the Biblical truth of creation.
Therefore, you should rest assured that the teacher or scientist who is trying to embarrass you into accepting evolution is actually very similar to a school ground bully. You just ignore their attempt at embarrassment and reject their silly story.
