Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (Romans 1-22-25)

If you don’t think your choice of major premises matters, consider this amazing statistic: Of students who enter college proclaiming they are born-again believers, 50 percent say they are no longer so upon graduation. How can this be? I think the best answer to this question lies in the separation of Christianity from education, and its replacement with Darwinism…

Late in the 12th century, a phenomenon unique to Europe materialized, the university… Christianity provided unity for all departments of study.

In the 21st century, most American universities, like most biology textbooks, have exchanged the unity of a Christian worldview with an evolutionary worldview. The major premises taught currently are either atheistic (deny [the] existence of God) or agnostic (cannot know if there is a God), and according to the above statistics, universities are effective at getting students to believe their major premises.

How can you avoid the confused teachings prevalent in today’s educational system? Psalm 119:11 says “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” Scripture memory is one of the most effective methods for avoiding confused thinking and false major premises.
