In my Child Psych/Developmental Psych courses @ a fundie Christian college, I was introduced to the developmental info, but then it was dismissed under the statement,"'But these authors/researchers are not Christians and do not take into account sin nature." When a fellow student questioned what sin nature had to do w/cognitive development, she was pretty much shamed and her question was talked around rather than answered directly.

Science and the Bible do NOT contradict one another. Any Christian educator should know this.

Yes, but @ this particular school, psychology is "pseudo-science." There were actually board members who were very angry the school hired someone who got his doctorate in the field from an Ivy League school.

Straaaaaaaange! I can't emphasize enough that in everything, moderation and balance are key! Extremes are almost always inaccurate when it comes to worldviews.

Ezzos have a whole appendix in their parenting books about the development of modern psychology and how it's all . . . get this! . . . humanistic behaviorism.

Wait, isn't changing BEHAVIOR by hitting . . . behaviorism?

Oh the irony!

right. I told DH when Maximus started the drop/retrieve things, "Think of it as a toddler physics experiment!"

The Church has been rejecting science since Science discovered that the world was round, and there were extinct speceis.

This is why non believers find Christianity Uncredible.

The organized church has almost always taken the extreme position.

right. My Dad says, 'don't give me any psychobabble' and then spouts some off as reasons to spank.

Christians need to learn to think for themselves.

I have a blog post which says:

Quote:

JeriWho has written a very interesting blog about Psychology and The Fundamentalist Christian at Blog On The Way. Her premise is that while rejecting Psychology for being “atheistic, Darwinistic, and utterly secular,” they tend to embrace behaviorism which is also atheistic and unbliblical. She makes some very good points here and gives much food for thought.
