Why is what you believe about creation important to your role as a Christian educator?
-
Having a correct understanding of creation is important because it really does affect how I teach my discipline. Knowing about how God created the world as perfect but then the fall of man marred all of that is important, especially when dealing with literature where a fallen world is on full display and must be analyzed according to the Bible.

It’s important what I believe about creation because that is what I am teaching my students. If I don’t believe that God created the world, then it would come out in my teaching and I wouldn’t be teaching the truth. I would not be teaching what the Bible teaches us. I would not be instilling God’s word into my students.

Teaching middle school science has given me many wonderful opportunities to teach Intelligent Design in many of my lesson. I am honored to equip my students with the knowledge they need when they encounter evolutionists in later grades. We can see God’s design in all areas of creation, from the composition of Earth’s elements, and the parts of our solar system, down to our very DNA. We can be confident that our omniscient Creator knows us and is worthy of our trust as we follow Him and His perfect ways.

Creation is very important to my role as a Christian educator because it is the foundational belief of what I teach in every subject! If God did not create the world, if it happened by chance, then there would be no one in which to believe. The understanding of Creation is the understanding of time and life as we know it in our humanness!

If an educator does not have faith in Genesis, the rest of the Bible will very soon fall as well. If someone is unable to accept the first sentence, the rest of the book will make little sense.
