Trepidations on Orthodox Youth Going Off to College

"Seriously unprepared am I 

to Face a World of Men...."  From the Sound of Music. 

When you read the ante-Nicene Fathers, you are impressed with the fact that they were both Traditional in that they appealed to the Tradition that had been handed them through apostolic succesion, and Scriptural, for every Tradition they received they also derived from detailed and painstaking and passionate interpretation of Scripture.  It is said that if the Bible was erradicated from the earth, It could be reconstructed just from the quotations found in the writings of the Ancient Fathers of the Church.  

Orthodox graduating seniors go off to college this year. Most have never read the Bible through. Most don't know whether Job is in the Old Testament or the New.  So, off they go to college.

They enter a comparative religions class or an English class where Genesis is viewed as literature.

The professor has studied Graf-Wellhausen, at least once, and loving it, throws it in their face, saying "JEDP". "JEDP"? What's that?  O, he explains different self interested ruling groups of the various tribes of Israel tried to advance their theology and their own names of god, so the Scriptures are a composite of cut and paste attempt to advance their own gods. Jahwe, Elohim, Adonai.  Etc.  O, and the book of Daniel; it was written after the exile during the Macabeean period and so the prophecies that appear to predict the Babylonian Empire, the Medes and the Persians, and the Greeks are not really prophecies but sham prophecies.  (Because, of course, we know that miracles can't happen, and so the Traditional claims that Daniel wrote his book in Captivity, and prophecied that after 70 years the captivity would be ended, are bogus).  So they are slammed with Source Criticism.  Ah, yes, and then there is early Genesis- a literal six day creation; hah! We all Know that the Universe is Billions and Billions of Years Old and that everything is the result of helium and gravity.  And our student, who has never read Genesis, and has never been challenged to think through the meaning of the Book, nor Christian apologetics for it; he has never been shown that literary criticism has overthrown much of Source Criticism, and that archaeological studies explaining toledoths gives great credance to the antiquity of Genesis from a scientific viewpoint, nor has ever been shown the weaknesses of modern Big Bang Cosmology, nor the atheistic arbitrary assumptions that are plugged in to the math to produce their results, nor seen the cavernous weaknesses of the Darwinian theory, nor been introduced to the global evidence of a Watery Catastophe known as the Flood,  nor ever been exposed to the massive flip flops that have occurred in this natural philosophy we call science, can not help but be at grave risk to being reduced to skepticism, not only about the Old Testament, but also the New; for Christ said, if you do not believe Moses and the Prophets, you will not believe Me.  

 Lord, have mercy on him, and on us who have so neglected in this respect to train up a child in the way he should go. What will we say to the Lord, on that day, if that child has departed the faith, as 60 per cent of our Orthodox youth do who go off to College?
