Game crashing after updating Java

My son opened Minecraft after we had updated to Yosemite. It told us to update Java so we used the one suggested. After we installed it we kept getting a crash message from Minecraft

org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Could not create pixel format

I am very new to all this so I would appreciate any help. He doesn't get too technical with Minecraft. He just uses it in creative mode so we are not too familiar with the programming side of Minecraft yet.

Thanks

This is not a duplicate of MC 297. This is for Mac OS X which doesn't have a update to a driver as suggested!
