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?

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.

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.
