Affecting the Next Generation Science Standards for the Lord (Update)

by	Jeff Miller, Ph.D.

Are you frustrated with where science has gone in the last few decades in its promotion of naturalism—evolution and the Big Bang Theory? Are you tired of standing on the side-line as the evolution machine steamrolls over the minds of millions of kids, destroying their faith in God? Do you want to take a stand and do something about it? It so happens that right now—at this very moment—you can take a few minutes that could have a lasting impact in this debate. You could effect a change, and if not, you can atleast make a public statement and be counted among those who tried to make a difference. You can play a significant role in shaping the science curriculum that will be taught throughout the majority of these United States for the next several years.

Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is currently developing the science standard for some 26 states. Now is the time to take action and speak out against the indoctrination of young minds with the bad science of evolutionary theory. If the science standards pass as they are written now, Darwinian evolution will be a required topic in your child’s science education, if you live in one of the states that adopts this standard. The NGSS is currently accepting input from the public over the next few days (until January 29, 2013) on the second draft of their proposed science standards in the form of a survey on their Web site (www.nextgenscience.org). We strongly recommend that you take five minutes and speak out for God and the biblical view of origins. Now may be the only time for many years (or ever) to let your voice be heard in a direct, effective way on this matter.

The Villa Rica church of Christ in Georgia is taking a lead in this effort, and has developed a Web site to help you in this process. If you need help getting straight to the critical issues in the science standard, click here (http://www.unity-in-christ.org/Articles/christians4science_is_an_apologe.html). At the top of that Web page are two red rectangular links that will be helpful to you in sifting through the information on the NGSS Web site.

Please let your voice be heard. There is absolutely no doubt that the promulgation of evolutionary theory in America’s school system is one of the most effective ways that Satan has “taken advantage of us” (2 Corinthians 2:11) over the last 50 years, turning Americans and the world away from the God of the Bible. But we are not “ignorant of his devices” (2 Corinthians 2:11). Remember the famous words of exhortation credited to Edmund Burke, a British statesman from the 1700s: “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Take up the sword of truth, and fight with us.
