Top home-school texts dismiss Darwin

Christian-based materials dominate a growing home-school education market that encompasses more than 1.5 million students in the U.S. And for most home-school parents, a Bible-based version of the Earth's creation is exactly what they want. Federal statistics from 2007 show 83 percent of home-schooling parents want to give their children "religious or moral instruction."

"The majority of home-schoolers self-identify as evangelical Christians," said Ian Slatter, a spokesman for the Home School Legal Defense Association. "Most home-schoolers will definitely have a sort of creationist component to their home-school program."

I'm not overly worried about not finding books about Darwinism, there should be more than enough of on Darwinism at any book store that should satisfy their wants, though of course not their true needs.

I would hope home schooling parents would acquaint their children with the failings of Darwinism, because "Ignorance is bliss!" is not the way to educate children. They should know The Scientific Case Against Evolution and be Exploring the Limitations of the Scientific Method.

But there will always be a divide between Christians and atheists.

Hebrews

3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.---NASB
