wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 PLEASE explain to me how this fits in together!!!!!! Also, is this a Christian worldview of biology or a secular worldview of biology???? I know this just came out, but I have seen a few posts of people whose children have completed it already! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindyg Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Second question first: It's not a Christian worldview of biology. There is nothing about creation vs. evolution. But it's definitely a Christian worldview. There are numerous (very quick) references to attending Sunday school or getting the truth at church. How does biology and pre-algebra fit together? Well, if you're familiar with LOF books, you know Fred wanders through his day thinking about math concepts. In this book, he wanders through his day thinking about math concepts and how plants grow, how they are classified, and about how much molecules weigh, etc. It's a very entertaining story. We're about 2/3 done with it, and my son loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 We have the first two books, fractions and decimals & percents, but will not use them until this summer, so I am getting aquainted with fred!! (Just read in the fractions where he stabs himself and had to go to the ER :sad:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindyg Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 LOL Ok, it is or it isnt a Christian worldview? (you said yes and no :lol:) Its getting late :) I meant, the author doesn't take a worldview position on BIOLOGY, but his own personal worldview does shine through. It's small, but for those of you who don't want any religious references, it's there. :) And, yes, Fred does drop a knife on his foot in one of the earlier books. My son loved it! LOL! (Very little that happens in any of the books is realistic.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorax Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I would say unless you're really sensitive these would be considered secular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Indeed Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Stan, the author of the Fred books, is a Christian. He wrote the books that can be used by either viewpoint, but when you read them you know he is a Christian. Specifically in the biology book he does not go into anything in Fred's musings that says "God is the creator", yet he does tell his readers where to look for truth. He is not preachy.

nmoira Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I would say unless you're really sensitive these would be considered secular.Hmmmmm. I'm not overly sensitive, but I wouldn't categorize LOF as secular (especially after the first two books); however, with the exception of one short part in the Biology book, Schmidt doesn't preach.
