Teens who go to church have less trouble!

Teens receive much bad publicity. Newspapers and television highlight youth drug and alcohol problems, teenage suicides, vandalism, gang violence, teen pregnancies, and an increase in the number of street kids.

In Australia in the 1990s, results of a four-year study of the social and religious attitudes of 310,000 church attenders showed encouraging signs among youth. The results showed that 62 per cent of churchgoing Australian teenagers identified with the statement “I do not believe in evolution. God created the world in seven days as described in the Bible”.

The young people who believed so strongly in creation and rejected evolution also shone in other areas. They showed the strongest disapproval of sex outside marriage. They opposed racism. They had the highest assurance of everlasting life. Creation Tips
