The Ignorance of Today's Youth (and Adults)!
|
A
recent survey by the Bible Society has highlighted the lack of Bible
knowledge, and even awareness of some of the basic Bible accounts among
both children and their parents.

Other
troubling statistics that don't bode well for Christianity in future
generations include 23% of children having never heard of Noah's ark,
38% didn't know anything about Adam and Eve, 43% were ignorant of the
Crucifixion, 66% knew nothing of the Creation and 75% lacked any
knowledge of Daniel in the Lions' den.
The
parents didn't know any better, with nearly half failing to recognise
Noah's ark as a Bible story, while there was a significant amount of
confusion between whether something appears in the Bible, Harry Potter
or the Hunger Games.
Yet
nearly half of adults think Bible stories provide ‘good values for
life’ and 40 per cent say they are important to our history and culture.
