Evolutionary teaching is to blame for youth crime

Every time we put on the news or read the papers we see further evidence of a crime wave among young people with a huge increase in violence, particularly using knives.

While politicians and social workers wring their hands in despair and attempt all sorts of unconvincing explanations, none of them seem to have realised the answer is staring them in the face - the teaching of evolution in schools.

At one time, children were taught that we were made in the image of God and, as such, we should value all people and treat them with consideration and respect.  However, once children started to get indoctrinated with the teaching of evolution the truths of the Bible were sidelined.  This has been going on for several generations, now, and we are seeing how, as one generation passes and another comes along, so crime has increased.  Not only has crime increased but the level of spite and aggression has increased with it, so that violent crime is now much more vicious than before.

No doubt, enemies of the Bible will say this is all nonsense. However, they need to consider one simple fact, when you teach children that they were descended from animals then they will behave like animals. We have seen evidence of this, so often, and will see more of it as  the country becomes increasingly wicked.

Indeed, the whole framework of evolutionary teaching has one aim in mind - to "prove" that we not created by special design, but evolved by accident.  This immediately rules out the need for a belief in a creator with all the constraints that come with such a belief.  Consequently, if people do not believe in a God who sees everything, then they have no motive to treat others well, but rather to look after their own interests, even if that means using intimidation and violence to achieve those ends.

Politicians of all parties come up with various suggestions to stem this endless orgy of violence but there is only one answer - a turning back to God, and the teaching of His infallible word, the Bible.

History has proved, time and again, that only when there is a revival of turning back to God, through faith in Christ as Lord and Saviour, is there a corresponding decrease in crime and anti-social behaviour.  Instead of coming up with new policies, the leaders of our country should be turning to Christ, and then urging the nation to do the same.
