In all fairness, we learned about the mechanisms and mechanics of the world better than this mocking summary, but, on the other hand, I recall being better equipped to refute evolutionary theory by discussing side-by-side dinosaur and human footprints in a dried up Texas riverbed and Java man having been mistakenly posited from the tooth of an ancestor to wild boars than I ever learned about the Pleistocene or Jurassic periods, i.e. actual evolutionary theory. The fact that the universe is measurably and rapidly expanding was never discussed, to my recollection; and the complex field of epigenetics (nascent in the mid-1980s, to be sure) was not on the radar at all. The idea that believing Christians could accept evolutionary theory as the hypotheses to explain numerous field data and observations about the world was an overwhelming cognitive disconnect it has taken me years to overcome -- and years that involved a lot of reading and unlearning much that I had learned from the BJU Press materials.
