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.

Well, that is encouraging and I commend you for that. See, I have no problem with others beliefs except when I am told that I have to believe it or I am going to hell or where ever.I will respectively disagree with you without telling you you are wrong as long as you don't expect me to accept it as law.You have a great evening and take care of your youngens.

As it VERY typical amongst Christian homeschoolers.

Interesting, is it not, how homeschoolers so regularly outperform their public school counterparts, when we're regularly warned about the dangers of teaching creation in addition to evolution and what it's going to do to their intellectual development and academic opportunities.

Funny, my three creationist believing kids were all invited to join the honors programs in their secular private universities.
