Evolution in Christian Organizations

While evolution may be at the forefront of secular universities and organizations, most of us are unaware of the evolutionary teaching, or evolutionary slant, being taught by Christian organizations around the globe.

At Answers in Genesis, we are regularly asked to recommend colleges and ministries that hold to a literal interpretation of Genesis. Although we cannot provide an exhaustive list of every Christian organization or university, we want to equip you with the tools to discern for yourself which institutions have the correct foundation—a solid understanding of Genesis and the absolute authority of the Word of God.

In the upcoming issues of Answers, the Education Spotlight section will highlight Christian colleges, ministries and organizations that complement the work of Answers in Genesis.

In searching for a good Christian organization to send your child or money to, it is important to know what that organization teaches, especially in regard to the Bible, God and origins. Many times it’s simply a matter of knowing what questions to ask.

The following are just a few questions that you could ask of any Christian organization (church, college, ministry, curriculum publisher, etc.) ...

• How does this organization regard the Bible when it talks about science, history and nature?
• How does this organization address the topics of creation and evolution?
• What is this institution’s position on the age of the earth? Why?
• How does this institution explain the fossil record, the origin of the races and the reason for death and suffering?
