When Should We Talk About Evolution?

Answers with Ken Ham

While you might not have talked with your preschooler about evolution, she’s probably heard of it. Kids’ books, TV shows, and schools introduce evolution very early. So, when should parents address it?

Well, start by teaching the truth from a very young age. This allows kids to see through the lies. Then take advantage of the times when they do hear the lies of the world to point them to God’s unchanging truth. Teach them to always start their thinking with God’s Word.

Finally, be faithful in answering their questions—always starting with Scripture. Kids are curious and they need solid, biblical answers.
