How can I teach my daughter that evolution is a myth?

Answer 1

Talk to her about how if evolution was true, then she would have evolved from you, and be a better human, which is so laughably untrue, as she demonstrates daily. Never miss an opportunity to remind her of this.

Answer 2

First, you must teach her that education is not a priority. Start with the basics, like science is wrong, and that learning and expanding one's knowledge is not good. Then you can start with the specifics, like evolution. But you have to be careful, kids are by nature curious, so you must step on any of her curiosity about education. Homeschooling will be necessary, that way you can control what she learns. You will have to tell you that the bible is what everyone believes and that others are all liars.

Answer 3

You would have to assume that evolution is a myth. That's a much bigger assumption than belief in God.

Also, let her learn from actual qualified teachers in the subject area, like me. I'd be happy to teach her why it's one of the most successful scientific theories of the past 500 years.

Answer 4

Evolution isn't a myth. We evolved. But the point is that the very first early humans could well have been Adam and Eve. Primitive? Yes, very, but nonetheless, they could have been Adam and Eve. Science and religion do not necessarily have to be on opposing ground.

Answer 5

There is so much good material out there.. movies , books etc. You need to read books like Tornado In A Junk Yard by James Perloff and watch movies like Privileged planet, Unlocking the Mystery of Life so that you will be able to guide her as she grows. www.reasons.org would be a good place to start. Any home school curriculum should have some good resourses. Well you better get crackin'. You've got a lot of studying to do. God bless!!!

Answer 6

Why reject the science of evolution? It is widely accepted these days as scientific fact. Even the Catholic Church accepts evolution. And, there are many reasonable Christians who also accept evolution as fact. It is not a threat to your faith. However, this constant insistence that it contradicts Christianity is what is giving your religion a bad name. You are pushing your own faith back into the Dark Ages.

Seriously, research it. There is a lot of evidence in favor of evolution out there. It does not contradict with a believe in God. Why be so threatened by it?

Answer 7

Not only is evolution a fact, but the underlying principles have been discovered to explain many other mysterious natural phenomena. Computer programs are routinely written that use evolutionary principles to evolve unique solutions to complex problems. Evolutionary principles have been used to explain the dynamics of how civilizations evolve over time, both day-by-day and generation-by-generation. The mammalian immune system uses evolutionary dynamics on a minute by minute basis to evolve the appropriate response to immunological threats. The best current explanations for the origin of human conscious awareness all suggest that evolutionary principles apply to the way the neurons of the neocortex autonomously arrange their complex interconnections on a second-by-second basis. Darwin's humble explanation for the origin of the species has provided insights that apply to a wide variety of other previously mysterious phenomena. The impact of evolutionary dynamics on the body of human knowledge has only just begun.

If you are wise, you will keep your ignorance of the nature of reality to yourself. Your daughter's education will almost certainly exceed your own and what you say today will surely make you look ignorant in her eyes, for a long time to come. You may not appreciate it now, but this advice really is offered with the best of intentions, long-term.

Peace and Love......

Answer 8

Ok, I think a children's Bible with the Genesis account in it would be a good start.

If she has already been exposed to this religious cult at school, you could research the duck billed platypus and explain to her that this creature was created by God with a sense of humor solely to confound evolutionists.
A mammal that lays eggs? With fur and webbed feet? Unlike most mammals, the female platypus has no nipples. Her young are fed on milk that oozes onto the mothers abdomen. The male platypus is 3 times the size of the female and has poisonous spurs on its hind legs.
evolutionists can't figure out what this creature "evolved" from. The answer can be found in 1 Corinthians 15:39.

Answer 9

I'm assuming that you are a Christian. The best way to do this is to teach her what there is to know about God first. After that, tell her that even if she has to 'learn' about the Big Bang THEORY, evolution, et cetera, she will know the Truth. It has worked for me. I knew the Truth before theories were explained to me. Jesus said give to God what belongs to God and give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, which, to a certain extent, means that you must teach her how to distinguish what comes from God and what comes from Satan. This also means that she will have to learn that knowing (Not believing) the evolution THEORY is essential for graduating High school, getting a job, and so on.

Answer 10

Don't teach her that it is a myth. Teach her an Intelligent Design worldview but also teach her what the evolutionists believe and how it doesn't hold water to the authority of scripture or true science (not the pseudo-science that passes as "science")

Answer 11

You can share with her your opinions on why you feel evolution to be untrue, but ultimately she will have to come to her own conclusions. You can't control what she thinks for the rest of her life.

Also, if you don't have correct, current knowledge about evolution, this would be the time to seek it out.
