My freshman year in college I was taking a biology class. I had flipped through the textbook and discovered a chapter on the evolution theory. I thought, oh brother, here we go again! I worked hard that semester preparing all of my arguments for that chapter. The day finally arrived. It was time for that chapter. I was ready. The teacher calmly said, "You see the next chapter is on the theory of evolution. I don't believe it, therefore I don't teach it." Please skip to the next chapter. That was it. The wind was sucked right out of my sails!
I couldn't believe it. Here I was, all ready to be the lone ranger defending the truth of Creation, and all for nothing. The teacher was a nice guy. He had never said anything out of line. I had not even allowed for the possibility that the teacher was a Christian. I was never so happy that a potential fight was over before it started!
