You teach evolution too, right?

Evolution- Like that some wolves evolved into dogs. That's proven.

The curriculum teaches provable/observable micro-evolutionary adaptation within the species. No disagreement there with any other school. Since wolves and dogs belong to the same species, C. Lupus, of course it's proven.

My kids do study macro-evolution also but only to the point that they understand the theory. They know that it is a theory and has countless holes that have not been resolved.

Here's part you don't grasp about homeshcooling: this is MY school and it will reflect my beliefs. That's why I homeschool. If you don't like my teaching - don't send your kids to my house! Notice that my school, unlike public schools, is willing to inform its students of theories that contradict our core beliefs! I don't have to but do, public schools should but don't.

Now, as for public schools . . . they use my money to shovel bad science to kids who swallow it whole and ignore ID as if it doesn't exist as an alternate theory.

Actually, that particular example happens to strengthen the argument for intelligent design, as the "evolution" from wolf to dog has been guided by human breeders.

Correction. Wolves were bred into dogs.
