This article is such a piece of garbage.
Of course many homeschool texts teach creationism. That’s why a lot of Christian people homeschool - because they don’t feel evolution is biblical, and they have alternate opinions about the science. They WANT to have texts that address biology differently.
The anti religious left is vastly insulted about it and their fabled tolerance does NOT extend to allowing people to form their own conclusions on the matter.
I teach biology to a homeschool coop and I can tell you after reading many secular texts and biblical ones, IMHO nothing tops abeka or BJU. However, because of antireligious activists some colleges won’t accept those texts for homeschoolers. So I have to “flesh out” so I can document that the kids are getting their healthy (or unhealthy) dose of evolutionary theory.
This woman is clueless. What is she doing homeschooling if she isn’t even checking the curriculum out?
I didn’t use BJU for science, I used Abeka, and my daughter had a fine understanding of the ToE.
They present it correctly and explain why they reject it.
She took the NYS Biology regents and got all the questions on the evolution section of the exam correct except one, all based on what Abeka taught.
What’s ironic, is that Christian schools across the country use Abeka for science education and they have to have their students pass whatever is given for year end exams in the subject. Abeka NEEDS to present it correctly so that these kids can pass.
The problem is, is that to the scientist/evolutionist way of thinking, if you don’t accept the ToE as fact, that means that you don’t understand it.
If you really understood it, you’d find the evidence for it so overwhelmingly convincing that you’d have no choice but to accept it.
It’s simply inconceivable to them that someone could understand ToE as explained and still reject it as an adequate explanation of how life arose on the earth.
