If you are a Creationist using a secular Science text..

[Heather in Neverland]

what do you use to supplement it for a creation perspective and christian worldview? (x-post)

[Miss Marple]

Some we've used are Of Pandas and People, Darwin on Trial, and The Soul of Science. There are also videos from the World View Weekend folks which are good, too.

We used Darwin's Black Box. It's not written by a Christian, but we felt it was a well-done Intelligent Design argument by a secular scientist.

 

Also, we've been to the Answers in Genesis Family Camp and have many of their resources.

My view is that evolution and the big bang are useful models that everyone should learn. Models are methods of organizing data but are not necessarily true--just as a line is one way to represent linear data, but the data don't fall right on it, or just as light is neither a wave nor a particle, but in some ways acts like each of them.

 

And my view is also that just as Adam and Eve were created with the appearance of age, so was the world. I think that at the time of the Fall, the appearance of death and decay were added to everything.

 

So I am not shook up by the secular science books, but I do talk about what God's Word says about creation, and about how come things look older than they really are.

 

There is a great book "Genesis and the Dinosaur" that also has been helpful to me in this regard. However, it's a tough read and not for middle schoolers, I would say.
