Science for kids

I am part of a program designed to encourage college students in science majors to also do studies in education. The program was created as a response to the lack of science teachers in city schools. It wasn't until I became part of the program that i realized that not all of the science teachers in public schools are exactly "science" teachers; most of them are good-hearted teachers who hold a degree in education, but don't have any science experience! In fact, some of them don't even know what they teach. In the first day of the mandatory workshop of the program we were told of how in a research made by the directors, most of our "science" teachers don't even know how the scientific method works, which is the base for all scientific research. They only limit themselves to follow the curriculum given by the Department of Education.

The problem with this is that the new generation is getting second hand information; In most of the cases, not even true information. I'm not saying that having teachers with science degrees is any better, but at least, a person with this kind of knowledge could get closer to the truth, or confuse this generation a little bit more! For example, as part of the program, I was required to shadow a biology-graduated teacher for about 5 hours. The topic: evolution. When the teacher was asked if there was life in other planets, the techer accurately described the uniqueness of the earth in the solar system and the minuscule possibility there was, but she gave them hope by saying that, "although is statistically impossible, we are on it". The fact of giving only facts according to what they believe, creates a conflict for our kids. The information they don't have is that  most of the greatest discoveries in science have been made by God fearing people who have found God and His creation in science, and who understand that nothing created had been possible if there wasn't a creator involved.. Francis Bacon said:

“A little science estranges a man from God. A lot of science brings him back.”

 I want to encourage you to make a difference by learning more about current science for the sake of your own generation and the one your kids are going to live in. Our public schools are teching our kids that God isn't real, and that everything they see is part of a massive accident. Don't pray for your kids' lack of faith. Believe me, they have an even greater faith by believing in evolution, something that has NOT been proved, and that brings a lot more social problems than what we can imagine. Pray so that God can reveal himself to them the same way He did to Daniel and Paul, who were both educated people in their own time. When that happens, they  are going to use all their knowledge to glorify God.

"Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him." Daniel 2:20-22
