No disrespect meant, TheLittleLady, but are you suggesting the child should just say nothing? Should they just go along with it? Explain how a radical love answer would have been worded.

I took this approach with rather less determination with my children who are now firmly committed to the rights of workers, women, indigenous people and all people at the margins of society. Oh, and they know evolution is a fact too.
 
Charity toward others is always required. Still, as great gandpa used to say, I have empathy for the Visigoths but I still warn the kids against joining them.

I guess the question is, how to protect the kids from a civilization in decline and being undermined from within.
 
These conversations in print are a little akward, middle schoolers in real life don’t talk that way.

Let’s say a table of 4 middle school girls are talking about the “Daddy Daughter” dance coming up. One girl is not joining the conversation, she just enrolled in the school last week so the other girls are just getting to know her.

Sally says “Ashley, what are you wearing to the Daddy Daughter Dance?”

Ashley says “I think it is dumb, I am not going”.

The other girls all start in with “whys” and “It is not dumb” in a chorus as mid-schoolers do.

Finally Ashley says “look, I don’t have a dad, so, I can’t go to the stupid dance even if I wanted to!”

Others keep prying, Ashley tells them how her mom always wanted to be a mom, so, she adopted Ashley from foster care.

Now, one child can give a lecture about how “adoption is not about getting kids because a person wants a kid, it is about providing kids with a mother AND a father. It is very sad that you have been denied having a REAL family.” OR the kids can say “Hey, if you want to go, let’s talk to Mr. Suchnthus and your mom can go because she is your mom AND your dad!” or brainstorm other ways to help Ashley not feel left out. That is human compassion and radical love.
 
I see what you are saying. And in an instance such as you described, yes, your answer works. And I would hope that a child would also be taught the difference between saying things to be intentionally hurtful vs. to be defending their faith when someone attacks their beliefs.

Evolution isn’t a fact, just a theory and a theory with some big holes in it. Please read the linked article in you want more information regarding this.

Oh, so you’re one of those people.

What do you mean by that?
 
You can’t prove a scientific theory. You can only support it with massive amounts of evidence and narrow down possibilities of other causes to null values. That’s what evolutionary science has done. There’s a vast body of evidence which supports that evolution is correct and other hypotheses have nowhere near that amount of evidence.

If arguing against science is fighting this “cultural Marxism” and “leftist ideology” then count me out.

Please read the article that I linked.

The LACK of evidence is the biggest hole that Darwin’s theory has. There is NO vast body of evidence which supports that evolution is correct as you claim.

Again, please read the article that I linked. It clearly spells this out.

I’m not arguing against science. I’m a firm believer in science. My mother was research scientist (in biochemistry). This is why it gnaws on me that people (mostly non-scientist) believe that Darwin’s theory on evolution is settled science.

As the article I linked points out, science has yet to come up with a good scientific theory on the origin of species. It’s yet to be discovered. Maybe one day, it will be.

Just because they want to educate their children and protect them from moral ambiguity and relativism doesn’t mean they aren’t teaching them empathy just because the article didn’t mention it. By that logic their children won’t be learning how to drive car because the article didn’t mention it.

Your linked article is about the theory(s) of how the fact of evolution can be explained. The fact of evolution is established by simple observation: genetic material such as DNA is passed on by descent. All living things share DNA. Therefore all living things are related by descent. You cannot escape this fact. The mechanisms of descent and speciation are open to debate. But not the fact of evolution.
 
Wow, that was one of the most depressing things I’ve ever read.
 
Having raised 3 myself I find the superior means of teaching our children how to live is by EXAMPLE as what we do is far more important than what we say. Our children are watching us all the time. We can talk to them, tell them, how to live until we and they are blue in the face. What we actually DO in our day to day lives is what matters most and most likely what they will ultimately do as well assuming we’ve been good examples of how to live well and as a result an attraction.

If not they will find others to parent them and adapt their mores and norms.

In Christ-
