\nIn We Don’t Need Know Education<\/a><\/em>, Mike Adams laments the writing (and speaking) quality of today’s average university student.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m getting to be a crabby old man and I\u2019m not even fifty. But working at a liberal university for eighteen years has taught me never to accept responsibility for my actions or my disposition. Instead I blame my most recent bad mood (the one I\u2019m in right now) on a student who just asked me a question about the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case United States v. Leon, (1984). Wanting to know the holding, he asked if it meant \u201cthat the police can rely upon a search warrant they don\u2019t reasonably no is invalid.\u201d I almost told the student there was know way he was going to pass my course if he didn\u2019t no the difference between \u201cknow\u201d and \u201cno.\u201d But I just new I would get in trouble if I did.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Maybe I’m getting to be a crabby old man, and I’m already over fifty, but I don’t recall there being such a disparity between college-age adults and post-college adults when I was in university.<\/p>\n

Experience without Reason results in empty pews<\/a><\/strong>
\nIt’s become hip for Christian leaders to toss around the “80% [or substitute some other large value] of the kids in our youth groups will leave Christianity by the time they finish college” warning. Regardless of the actual number, most will agree that we live in a time when more people claim to have no belief (or religious affiliation) than ever before.<\/p>\n

Brett Kunkle, at Stand to Reason<\/a>, has a novel idea<\/a>: Why not teach apologetics to our Christian youth before <\/em>they leave for college? Yeah, I know, in an age of touchy-feely, Jesus-wants-to-have-a-personal-relationship-with-you Christianity, teaching hard-hitting material which causes one to exercise their brain is considered revolutionary.<\/p>\n

To drive the point home, Brett will sometimes role-play as an atheist college professor and present his case to unsuspecting Christian high school students (see video below)<\/a>. Take the time to see how the youth do in defending their faith. How would the youth group in your church do?<\/p>\n
