"And like a flower grows towards the sun so should we grow in our faith towards Jesus."
That's how one student's science fair project attempted to include Christian Perspective.
Now it is a beautiful allegory, and there is a place for allegories like this in the development of our faith, this is not a good example of Christian Perspective about science.
To often we fall into the trap of only using our subject matter as an allegory for our faith and we do not think about how our faith should also inform our understanding of the subject matter.
Do how do we do this? Especially in the elementary classrooms where I teach!
