I'm registered for the GHEA Homeschool Conference, the Great Southeastern Homeschool Convention, and the Southeastern Homeschool Expo. I just wrote the description for my talk. It made me smile, and I am not prone to exuberance.
I wrote:
Why does poop stink? Evolutionary psychologists know why. In this funny and thought provoking session, Dr. Tim Rice explains why poop stinks, the “Astonishing Hypothesis,” and other examples of the worldview assumptions taught in college psychology today.
There is an excellent chance that your student will take psych 101. Did you know that psychology departments are home to some of the most anti-Christian intellectuals on college campuses? The professor is unlikely to nurture your child’s Christian worldview. He’ll probably ridicule it as unscientific, irrational, prudish, exploitive, controlling, inhibitive, oppressive, and naïve.
Modern psychology (not without exception) presumes atheism, humanism, moral relativism, and naturalistic evolution define the appropriate study of psychology. They do not. Your child is probably well prepared to refute the world’s philosophies, but in psychology, the philosophies are subtle, attractive, and difficult to recognize.
Prepare your students. Make sure they recognize when something just doesn’t smell right.
