Sixmeadows Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Can any one help me identify any Christian young earth and old earth science texts? I know Apologia is young earth. What else is there? We want our kids science to acknowlegde God as the creator and reflect our Christian beliefs. We want them to be aware of young earth and old earth positions, as well as expose them to the theory of evolution. I am seeing the importance of this, especially since I have been taking a Naturalist class. Every week evolution is hammered into the presentation.:eek: thanks for your help Cheri:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tami Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I can point you to the Answers in Creation website. Also, author Hugh Ross is one Christian who has written extensively on the Old Earth Creationist perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle in AL Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 BJU for middle school has earth science that is definitely young earth. Blessings, Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixmeadows Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Am I going to find a mostly young Earth programs? I would like to find an old earth viewpoint if possible. thanks Cheri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tami Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Am I going to find a mostly young Earth programs? I would like to find an old earth viewpoint if possible. thanks Cheri Yes - all the Christian publishers that I am aware of are 'Young Earthers.' One option would be to use a secular publisher that isn't "preachy" on the Evolution. Prentice Hall, Oak Meadow, and Plato all come to mind. Plato Science is an online, multi-media curriuclum available at the Homeschool Buyers Co-op. In face, I just signed my dd up for the Physical Science software. The discounted price is only available for a few more days, you may want to check it out! Then bring in your view of how our Creator is in the center of all things, and discuss. Discuss the odds of all of this coming into existence by pure chance. I always wonder where the matter and energy supposedly CAME FROM originally. Anyway, that's my plan at this point!

jg_puppy Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Thank you for all of the postings. I am not to middle school yet, but I am having the same issue with history at the elementary level. I hadn't thought about what I will do for science. Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyAberlin Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Answers in Genesis is young earth, but they do talk about the other viewpoints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Many YE curriculum will also present evolution. My girls, while our family is firmly YE, definitely know more about evolution than their peers (including the arguments for evolution and the points taught in evolution science.) We mostly use a combination of materials from Apologia, BJU, and A Beka for science. I have not noticed a lot that present OE to that extent. OE seems to be a cross between YE and evolution, so you will have learned most of it already, just add some of the arguments for their case presented by OE scientists (easily available on the internet, I'm sure.) I don't specifically teach OE, I just teach the overview of the position (how it differs from evolution.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie in GA Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Apologia General Science, gives some very good descriptions of the major theories, along with the evidences for, and problems of each. It was actually from Apologia that I learned of the existence of limestone being a "problem" for the young earth view. I highly recommend Apologia for Christians who want to be well-equipped for life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
