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?

No, never. It would definitely depend on the age of the students I would need to be able to explain things in words they understand. I assume this would be more difficult when discussing about the topic with older students. It is a topic I’m interested in and I would need to spend more time to understand this so I would be prepared when questions do arise.

Yes, I think there is so much fear about getting into these conversations. God has allowed me to have many opportunities to help me understand these topics. I love hearing as much information on this topic as possible.

Yes, the students were engaged in the discussion and asked many questions (why should we believe what we cannot see). We read Genesis and discussed how God created the world (they wanted something tangible which is just based on faith and God’s promises.

Yes, i did have a discussion about the creation but the students were so aware the creation came from God while evolution is a scientific theory.

In middle school our biblical standard is to help students engage in analyzing various theories of creation and the origins of life. We want to prepare our students to be in the world, but not of the world. We discuss three theories that are accepted by Christians. We don’t align with any of the three, but invite students to consider these options while talking with their parents about them.
