Question/Subject:

Education, Darwinism, and Indoctrination...
Is it right to indoctrinate children with Darwin's theory that natural selection explains the existence of human beings and give them the impression that life is ultimately an accident?

Well,I guess its about the word "indoctrinate" here....

Children should learn about Darwin.
It seems inevitable,however,that parents teach their children their convictions.....

Apparently,its even just as inevitable,that community or society would teach children "its" religious convictions....

I think,that this inevitability shouldnt be there.

Parents shouldnt indoctrinate children,nor the community or society should.......neither religion nor Darwin nor any other conviction......

Children should be teached as objectively as possible,so that theyd FEEL FREE to draw their own conclusions and form their own opinions and convictions......

Parents,community or society would deny this FREEDOM to children,though.....

So in short:
No , its not right to indoctrinate ANY conviction to children!


"At what age do you think children are capable of figuring out the truth?"

Well,
I think its about "figuring out" , rather than "figuring out truth".

Children are figuring out from inside the womb already!
Every human being,even children(!),is entitled to make mistakes,to learn,to discover his/her truth.
No one other is entitled to force this truth to his/her wishes!
The personal freedom and integrity of children should always be respected from the very start!

Parents have to realise,that they do not OWN their children!
