Yes, early education is so formative...critical. Research has shown that the natural classification that children put upon living things is much like the Biblical approach (based on habitat and locomotion primarily), until they are "enlightened" by today's evolutionary science. Ask most any kid, even if they remember very little of their instruction, and they'll usually "know" that "The bat is a MAMMAL." And they'll know other "facts" such as that a sturgeon looks more "primitive" than other fish, or a crocodile appears more "primitive" than an alligator. No, Renae, you are not an animal, and neither was your greatest-grandaddy Adam. It is a wonderful thing to be human, especially when we reunite with our Maker. - Chard Renae,

I remember trying to meld what I learned at church with what I was learning in elementary school. I couldn't figure out how I was an animal if God made me human and breathed a soul into this mortal body. That was about as far as my thoughts went. I started plunking things into a box in my brain separating science from the Scripture. Fascinating! I remember trying to meld what I learned at church with what I was learning in elementary school.
