BookShark History of Science Christian Friendly?

[Nancy Ann]

I think my son would really like this curriculum and just wondering if anyone has used this. We have read the History of US by the same author and disagreed on some areas but overall was fine with it. I am just really not interested in having my son read some books that are going to talk about how the church hated science and that Christians and the church got in the way of science progressing. It's all false for one thing, but more importantly I just do not think I have the energy this year to weed through all that stuff.  I also could pre read but I have to buy the curriculum first to pre read, our library does not have these books. So, I would just like to know if some people have used this curriculum and read through it with their child and can help with this. It really seems like a neat core to study and I think my son would like it. But because Book Shark is secular it won't have any notes with Christian content to help me wade the waters a bit like the Core 100 did when using History of US.

I'd probably skip it.  I can't remember exact details, but that's hard to avoid when talking about prominent science related figures in history.

Well, Book Shark is the secular arm of Sonlight. I have heard other people criticize Book Shark's science for being too neutral and therefore not secular enough for their tastes if that helps at all.

I'm an atheist, but I feel like the author was guilty of denigrating Christianity with her history series, so I don't have much hope that her science books will be any better.
