Re: Theory of Evolution & your children
I was trying to find the right words to answer this post.. and Cheegum kinda solved that for me..
Let your children learn what they do in school.. since most of us dont have the choices of putting our kids in islamic schools we have to make sure we do the best at home..
Ask them wht they are learning.. and make them realize that on the contrary this is what we believe in.. and this should be the case in every step.. in every aspect that they learn about.. esp. science related!
learning about our religion from an earlier age will help them distinguish better once they mature a little.. and there will come a time in life when they will jst read their textbooks in order to pass their courses without having to believe in the concept of evolution.. as this is covered even until after 1st yr Univ. So if your base is strong insha'Allah the way ahead becomes easier!
We turned out pretty well, in retrospect to what most of us have learnt in school.. and insha'Allah hopefully our kids will be the same way!
