Why did no run-of-the-mill Christians answer my question about children & science? (see details.)?

Question

Here's the question I asked:

"Do you hope your children learn more than you know about Physics, Biology, Chemistry & Math?"

Here's the link to the list of 13 answers:

Answer 1

It depends on the situation and condition of learning while in the school.

There is no relation on Religion and Spirituality about your question regarding childrens studies on Physics, Biology, Chemistry and math.

Or merely do not know the meaning of religion and spirituality. Physics do not belong to religion as well as biology,chemnistry and mathematics.
Go back to school my boy.

Answer 2

I would not mind if my children learned more science and mathematics than I do. Maybe then they could help me solve some problems in number theory (hobby). I certainly would not mind having some doctors in the family. Once I myself believed that science was the answer, and could solve all of our problems. I came to realize that even with only present day knowledge, there is enough science to make the world a much better place, but our own lack of morality gets in the way. Although I love science, I know that it is not "human" enough to be the answer.

Just the same science teaches us more about the laws that God made in the universe. I hope my children learn even more than myself, but in the end, I just hope my children are happy, whatever subject they choose to study.

Answer 3

with an expression like "RUN OF THE MILL" utilised in such a manner maybe you should ask yourself "Is learning the ways of the world a necessity of life." Each and every person must learn all they can and each to the paths they have chosen but that does not mean that learning is centred on certain subjects. Learning about all aspects of life is a life journey and not one that should be questioned by others. Learn that God, Allah and the many names we call our creator doesn't decide, we do. We should allow our youth who are tomorrows generation to decide when the time is right. All is asked of us is to nurture them and the planet we were given to take care of and we can't even do that and yet you ask such a question without realising that we have created what we have today, can we not make it better for our children by showing the the paths of life rather than questioning "THE RUN OF THE MILL."

Answer 4

I was raised Catholic but haven't considered myself a member of any organized religion for many years. God doesn't need a building or a set of man-made rules for us to be brought to him; for us to believe in him.

I have a degree in engineering, so I have a very strong background in all of the sciences and math that you mention above. I think I am too old at this point to have children, but I hope to teach all the children who come my way in life all that I know about Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Math and God. If we all can learn about energetics, we will discover the link between the western taught theories in all the science and math disciplines and God. We will learn how our thoughts and intent affect our personal biology and chemistry; How our thoughts can influence physical events on this earth and in this universe.

If all our children will learn about Traditional Chinese Medicine and energetics they will be a quantum leap beyond what we have been traditionally taught in U.S. schools.

Answer 5

I have two children both know more that I did at their age. I have one daughter that is a speech pathologist--was an associate professor at wcu and is now in private practice. My other daughter worded for IBM as a service rep and manager--she went into business for herself--she is a photographer now. Yes my children learned more than I did. My grandsons has a masters in entrepreneurship another went into the Marines and learned welding. They are all educated and successful. Yes , education is needed for all especially in sciences The amazing thing is they are all Christians and proud of their education and thank God for their ability

Answer 6

I am a Bible readin Jesus Freak :) I hope my child advances far beyond me in ALL sciences. As well as arts, humanity, and being an all around contributory and compassionate human being. If I do my job well as a parent, she will. And I am not a Christian who believes that knowledge of science or other belief systems is bad for my child. I studied the Koran and the Torah as well as the Bible. I didn't throw my brain out when I picked up my Bible. Science does not change my belief in God. It actually strengthens it. I've raised my daughter to be a Christian. But her path will be her own journey.

Answer 7

First of all - I will be praying for you.

Secondly - I am a fundamental Christian and proud of it. Very run of the mill - HA!

Thirdly - If my children and grandchildren serve the One True God Jehovah and His Son, Jesus - that is all I need and want.

Fourthly - My children and grandchildren are very educated and are very knowledgeable about physics, biology, chemistry and math - so your point???

Blessings dear one and I pray you find the Truth - the only absolute around - Jesus Christ.

Answer 8

I think that everyone, no matter how much we have accomplished, hopes that their children are more successful than they were. I am sure that in twenty years there will be more to learn on these topics and therefore our children will know more than we knew. I am a scientist and have seen Biology change and grow throughout my career.
I am a Christian, Pentecostal to be exact.

Answer 9

I'm Christian and my children know more about some areas than I do. But not all. They have gone through college and have been through all the indoctrination courses and have maintained their faith. You can please men by giving them the answer they want on tests but what you truly believe in your heart can not be taken away. Education in today's world is only a piece of paper. It does not make one person better than another.

None of those topics of education you mention has ever contradicted a Christians belief because when the so called educated try to make a case, it's pure conjecture. Listen long enough and it insults your intelligence. You think faith is for the uneducated? Think again. Whether it be faith in God or faith in a man's conjecture...I'll stick with He who made you, me and all that we see. Smart people see through the smoke.

Answer 10

If they are so inclined, I should hope they would pursue the subjects with vigor. If they are not, they will not live a miserable life of squandered resources. How is Lance Armstrong on his trigonometry or Tom Hanks on cell division? I don't think anyone should have a reason to care.
