I find the above claim hard to understand. Consider 1st year university
Electricity and Magnetism as taught by the physics department. Can you
help me to see how that should be taught from a Christian perspective.
When it comes to the humanities I can see your point but have a hard
time with much of the physical sciences. I have been watching Walter
Lewin's MIT video lectures on the net and wish I had been taught the way
he is teaching.

I can't imagine teaching such a course from a Christian perspective and
have it be superior.
