Episode 136: Combating 3 Myths Of Evolution

Dr. Georgia Purdom, Vice President of Educational Content at Answers In Genesis, helps us understand the difference between facts, theories, and ideas and gives us the tools to teach our children how to debunk 3 of the most popular myths of evolution! Georgia says if we want to combat evolution effectively with the truth of God’s Word and science we have to know what the evolutionists are saying, what the arguments are, and what children are being taught. 

The world will take every advantage it can to teach children contrary to God’s Word, so it’s our job to be intentionally teaching them truth. You’ll leave this conversation ready to debate like a gospel-believing biologist! 

Ready to combat the top 3 myths of evolution? Let’s go!

How Studying Truth Helps Decipher Counterfeit
Just like trained professionals can spot counterfeit money and handbags, children need a clear Biblical worldview to recognize counterfeit messages they encounter in our culture. Counterfeit acts like invisible UV rays, damaging our children and we don’t even realize it. The only antidote for what our kids need to prevent them from damaging counterfeit is Jesus.

This can be a difficult concept for kids to understand, but we have a hands-on activity that will help them visually understand that living things always come from other living things that are similar to them.
