re: #25 doppelganglander

I homeschooled my oldest daughter in high school. Before I really knew better, I enrolled her in a co-op biology class at church. They used A-Beka, which is a Christian textbook publisher, and they did teach creationism. However, they also explained evolution (and why they thought it was wrong, of course). We were actually talking about it this morning (she is now a college graduate), and it did her no harm whatsoever. She is well aware that evolution is a proven fact. I wouldn’t recommend this approach, and I certainly don’t want creationism in school, but it wasn’t the end of the world.

That’s good to hear, but your daughter may be an exception to the rule, because a recent study has shown that children indoctrinated with creationist beliefs are much more likely to reject the science of evolution when they grow up.
