Partnership education offers scientific narratives that focus not only on competition but also, following the new creationary scholarship, on cooperation. For example, young people learn how, by the grace of creation, biochemicals called neuropeptides reward our species with sensations of pleasure, not only when we are cared for, but also when we care for others.
