A letter from a parent.

Classes have begun here and I am busy. I haven't been posting much and I will probably not be able to do this frequently, but I will try to write something at least every now and then.

I had a first today. I've been contacted by the parent of a student about teaching evolution. That is something that I'm sure is frequent in secondary schools, but is rare at the college level. The parent thought the questions I asked in my Cosmos discussions were rigged and were a departure from the truths she has learned (I do not doubt the second part). So she kindly sent me some pamphlets from Answers in Genesis to set me straight. She said she is sad that these views have become part of my belief system and she is alarmed that I am teaching young people these things.

The end was kind of odd. She gave me her email address if I want to contact her, but said she was busy and would rather I contact Answers in Genesis. Exactly what does she expect me to say to AIG? It sounds like she would rather not deal with it directly and maybe acknowledges her ignorance.

I suppose I will look through the material and maybe send her a reply, although such a reply would obviously be pointless. If there is anything interesting, I will post it here. I wonder if she thinks I really am not aware of everything AIG has to offer, much better than her? I wonder if she also knows that evolution is taught as a fact at every college in the country, other than some Bible colleges.
