I need HELP...any good tips on surviving a secular history class being a strong Christian? What am i supposed to do when a test comes and asks for a fact answer when really it's only a nonplausible theory i can give them??? THANX!

JM: Let me see all the spam in this message. A history course spending 2 weeks on evolution. Unless this is a history of science course, I don't buy it. You've studied and studied it and know it's wrong, but you can't remember any arguments? Later on you post a few cribbed creationist claims without proper referencing? My suggestion is forget about your worries about evolution and start working on your writing skills. I always allow my students to get credit if they can posit a sound argument in favor of their position. Ask your prof if this is possible.CheersJoe Meert

JM: This student was homeschooled. Basically, it's a crapshoot whether or not the education received was any good. Having said that, the public school systems here in the US have some problems. It's one of the reasons pseudoscience and mysticism have such a strong base here in the US.CheersJoe Meert
