Have you had discussions about creation and evolution in your classroom? If so, how did those go? Is there anything you would do differently? If you have not had these discussions in your classroom, how do you think you would handle them?

We have had many discussions in my classrooms on creation v. evolution. These have gone very well. We walk through evolution and the issues with millions of years and the lack of evidence that supports this. We then walk through the genealogy of those that lived before and after the flood and add up their ages and calculate the age of the earth that way. The students really enjoy delving into this subject and we talk about different ways to discuss intelligently with those that are old earth evolutionists. We really enjoy this topic.

I teach creation. If a student brings up something different, we go to the Bible and read what God says about creation.

I have not had any discussions about evolution and most of my experience about creation has been with preschool and Kindergarten age students. These discussions include how God created heaven and earth, everything in it and creating Adam to be a caretaker of the earth. The creation of Eve to be a helpmate to Adam and being made in God’s image as a unique individual all have been part of discussions. Evolution I would see coming up in older students and honestly would need for myself to have very deliberate time dedicated to formulating responses that led students to the truth in the Word of God. I think before tackling those, I would need to spend more time relating scripture to concepts in evolution, if I am being honest.

As a secondary English Language Arts teacher, the subject of evolution does not come up a lot, if ever. However, creation comes up often. We discuss the value of humanity often through our literature studies in particular. I assume if evolution were to come up, I would approach it as I do any other controversial subject. I would direct my students to the inerrancy of Scripture and have them seek it for themselves. I would point them to specific trusted resources of my own, but always have them pursue it themselves.

As a Christian science teacher, we study this in depth.
