A number of reports have appeared recently about atheists distributing a book to students in Northern Kentucky schools on the last day of their school year. They have shown up in both secular and Christian media—such as this report I have linked to below from the Christian Post. Even though I am quoted in this Christian Post article, and I appreciate the fair coverage we have received from the Post over the years, I do want to point out what the media seems to be missing (or, with the secular media, avoiding): the atheists have made it very clear that their real motivation is more than just making an atheist book available to students, but to stop distribution of Bibles to students. For instance, the author of the atheist book being passed out has stated: “I suppose we should all also thank the Gideons [sic] folks for giving us the opportunity to cleanse people of whatever the Bible is supposed to teach them (though I would be much happier if they just stopped the public school distributions altogether).” He also states: “If any Christian parents or administrators have a problem with that, there’s a simple solution: Just don’t give the Gideons permission to distribute the Bibles. Say no to all religious and non-religious groups that want to leave material for students.” Atheists really ultimately dont care if their books can be distributed to students—as long as the Bible is not distributed. You see, students are already being taught the atheist worldview anyway in almost all classrooms. Public schools textbooks define science as only being able to explain the universe by natural processes—that is, naturalism. Naturalism is atheism! Atheists just don’t want students even knowing about the Bible or having opportunities to read one. Just like they don’t want students even being taught problems with evolution, they want students indoctrinated in the atheistic evolutionary belief and to have it be taught as fact! The real motivation of these atheists is not to continue to hand out their book to students—but to hope that by doing so (as they are doing in Northern Kentucky, where our Creation Museum is located), policies will change so NO books (especially the Bible) will be made available.
