Science and Creation and Homeschooling...
For our family, like any other family, our faith and education is very important. We strive to make sure our children are very grounded in both. More importantly, we hold God's word as authority and see God in all creation in this world around us.
But just because we are creationists, we do not withhold information of evolution from our children. In fact, I want them to know it- so that they can know how to defend their faith and think for themselves. I will check out secular science books for my children to read. We then discuss the information and then go the bible and creation resources and discuss some more about what we have learned from both sides.
Our favorite tools and resources come from Answers in Genesis. We receive their quarterly magazine, Answers Magazine (the children love the kid's section), and use it to help supplement our science lessons.
As a testimony, Answers in Genesis was one of the first resources that helped solidify our faith by having the answers we were seeking when we were new Christians trying reconcile God and evolution. Ken Ham helped us see that it's OK to take Genesis as literal history and how it strengthens the faith of a Christian and that science can and does support the Creator.
What resources do you find helpful when teaching science?
