Colleges - Liberal or Conservative?
Which Colleges are better that could help provide a Proper Biblical Worldview and environment? Which are better that could help to encourage a student to attend Church while pursuing studies and also after graduation?
According to several surveys conducted in the early part of this decade upward of two-thirds of College Students and some others out of High School have dropped out of Church. There is evidence also that many young people still attending church don’t have their hearts into it. What has happened? There has to be a reason. Can we place all the blame on secular education? Do the Colleges and Universities contribute to the problem? If so, are there ways we can make better choices in our selection of which schools to attend?
What if I gave you a list of Colleges and Universities and out of that list, would you know which ones are contrary to or possibly hostile to the Biblical or Creation worldview?
Students attend and hopefully graduate from one of the following universities:
1. MIT
2. Harvard
3. Liberty University
4. Masters College
5. University of Southern California (USC)
6. University of Kentucky (KU)
7. Duke University
8. Chicago Theological Seminary
**I am not endorsing any particular college, these are some that came to mind for this example.**
Please understand I am not saying that these universities don’t have the proper potential to prepare a student for the work force or a good career (maybe with the exception of one in my opinion that doesn't honor God as you would think it should and as the name implies). I'll let you be the judge as to which I am referring. You do the research - I did.
Which of these colleges I listed do you think are less likely to teach a humanistic worldview (man's worldview)? Which of these colleges are better so that a student could want to maintain attendance in Church after graduation?
I can give you what I consider to be the right answer(s) to this question but it is far better that you research it on your own.
The best sources for answers to this question involve reading and studying the following books:
Ken Ham & Britt Beemer with Todd Hilliard, Already Gone, Master Books.
Ken Ham & Greg Hall with Britt Beemer of America’s Research Group, Already Compromised, Master Books.
I recommend both. They complement each other. Already Gone is based on a student survey and Already Compromised is based on a survey given to administrators and heads of many Colleges and Universities. Seminaries and Bible Colleges are included in the survey. These books can be ordered individually or together as a pack (to save money) from Answers in Genesis. They are not expensive and are very informative. Check for DVD versions also.
If you have an personal concern or a concern where your child will attend college, these books are well worth getting and reading.
This information from these two books are eye-opening and reveal the humanistic problems we have today in most of our institutions of higher learning. These books not only talk about the problems with most colleges and universities but address problems within most of our churches today.
