Ashley, finding me mindin my own business: “Daddy, Geneva is owning the ponies! I asked her nicely and she won’t give me one!”
Me, ascertaining the situation: “Geneva, how many ponies do you have?”
Geneva, counting them: “One, two, three.”
Me: “Ashley has one, and you have three. Why don’t you give her one to play with, so you both have two. You can pick which one to give her.”
Geneva, deciding: “Hm.. baby!” and hand her a little pony.
Ashley: “Daddy! Geneva won’t give me a mommy one!”

I while back I got a hit on my blog for a search for Joost Nixon, pastor of Christ Church, Spokane, WA and Executive Producer of St. Anne’s Pub. Interested, I followed the search link.

In browsing the results I found a comment that he left on Doug Wilson’s blog. Nevermind the context of it, I think it’s glorious all by its lonesome…

You imply smart men don’t ever make mistakes. Experience tells us precisely the opposite is true. In fact, there is only one smart Man that hasn’t, and that is Christ. And his word says that we should give the judgment of charity and that love believes all things. So believe. You’ll feel a heap better if you do.

Dr. Ralph Seelke, a microbiologist at The University of Wisconsin, recently testified in favor of a bill that would require the government schools in Michigan to include critical analysis of evolution (and other things) in the science curriculum. He said,

Why do I think that having students critically analyze evolution is a good idea? First of all, in any area where there is considerable disagreement, a sound teaching strategy is to teach the controversy: allow the students to examine both the strengths and weaknesses of arguments for both sides, and in so doing make up their own minds about the subject. There is a term used when we only want student to learn one side of a story. It is called indoctrination, not education.

I think he’s right, but wouldn’t that mean the government school’s policy in regard to religion, or the supernatural/metaphysical, is… indoctrination?
