No, I understand your beliefs and I do respect them, however, as a homeschooler teaching your children that begining, I wonder what they will think about you as they get older and out on their own. Main stream beliefs will test them as they get older.Now, if they are gonna be Amish and farm and not interact with the rest of the world I guess they will be OK. But, if you are gonna send them out in the world, prepare them to get laughed at, and hope theire faith is strong enough to withstand it.

They understand evolution. We teach it to them. They also understand that our belief is not mainstream.

They will be on their own to investigate it further as they get older. Our house if full of unfiltered evolution material.

I do not believe in “sheltering” them from other worldviews only teaching them in context. They have plenty of time to decide what they believe on their own.

They already interact with the rest of the world. My dad who is a pastor, doesn’t believe YEC. He taught me differently.

I also teach them that dating has no biblical model and that they will not be doing any of that. That isn’t main stream either. My children are of course exposed to dating culture on a regular basis as my husband is a full time youth pastor.
