[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 923765, member: 2189"] I have no problem with that but you may be opening a door that most christian parents especially may not want opened. From a historicity POV, I think it'd be great and very worthwhile as I love reading about history and religion is a huge factor in it. But from a point of science, the creation story in Genesis chapter 1 and 2 could be very problematic IMO not that I don't welcome that problem from my POV. Read closely the order of creation as opposed to observable science in the form of empirical evidence and you may see the difficult problems I speak off. If a conflict with science then undermines the creation story as fact, then one could/may question if a fall of man ever occured and thus the entire rational for a savior/messiah becomes suspect if needed at all. I understand from that POV why maintaining the absolute of the creation story for some is so important but I'd let sleeping dogs lay. Even the [URL="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/4588289/The-Vatican-claims-Darwins-theory-of-evolution-is-compatible-with-Christianity.html"][COLOR=#ff0000]Catholic Church[/COLOR][/URL] has without much fanfare accepted evolution but it should be known that before Darwin, [URL="http://biologos.org/questions/early-interpretations-of-genesis"][COLOR=#ff0000]not all christian scholars[/COLOR][/URL] would have had conflicts with Darwin's conclusions. I also think once going down that path begins, parents of fundamental faith especially would regret it. Having this debate and discussion among adults is one thing but doing so with young minds at this point could be counterproductive in the long run. I prefer to error on the side of caution when it comes to kids even though many of my fellow dis-believers, skeptics, free thinkers think otherwise. BTW: I read the Bob Jones University homeschool curriculum on evolution and they did a pretty good job to my surprise. Impressive curriculum even with the point of reference they come from. [/QUOTE]
