What makes a Christian education Christian? Well, a Christian education is not just education with more rules and chapel and Bible verses. It is Christian worldview formation.

If you're an educator, you have to know that every student that you teach is being shaped by all kinds of ideas, all kinds of forces that come out

of the culture around them. What if you could confidently shape them with a Christian worldview

to navigate these forces, these ideas? The Colson Educators program is about just that.

There's a free course, World View Formation 101, available online. It's a self-based

course that will equip you to understand the ultimate goal of Christian education, worldview

formation, developing lessons that incorporate the Christian worldview, and creating a culture

at the school where our students' faith can grow and be activated. Sign up for the Worldview

formation course today at

colsoneducators.org. That's colson educators.org. Look on a breakpoint, a daily look at an

ever-changing culture through the lens of unchanging truth. For the Colson Center, I'm John Stumstreet.

Well, a myth repeated often in museums, textbooks, and nature documentaries that most people now accept just as dogma is that

humans and chimpanzees share about 98 to 99 percent of our DNA. The Smithsonian Museum of Natural

History in Washington, D.C., for example, cites that statistic in its human origins exhibit as confirmation that, quote,

modern humans and chimpanzees diverge from a common ancestor between eight and six million years ago, end quote.

The only problem is that the statistic is just wrong, likely by an order of magnitude.

Even more, the science community has known that it's wrong for quite a while now. And new methods of comparing the genomes of

humans and Great Apes show just how genetically different the two are. In fact, the cited one to two

percent difference hasn't been defensible in years now. As far back as 2007, authors in the journal

Science called on fellow researchers to retire the myth of 1%. Geologist Casey Luskin explained

in a 2023 ID The Future podcast that the estimate was derived decades ago from a single

protein-to-protein comparison before the chimp genome was even fully sequenced.
