Annie Laurie Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I can't tell from the website. It says it's a Christian curriculum and we're Christian so that's fine- I'm good with references to God or statements that say God created everything. But I'm not good with YE creation theories or Intelligent Design theories- does anyone know the view of this curriculum? And aside from that, has anyone used this?

kRenee Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 My son is using EE this year. Although he does most of it independently, I haven't seen any mention at all of God, creation or ID. The information is written to the student and it seems to be pure science. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 We used the Intermediate level of Exploration Education and didn't notice a single reference to god, religion, creation, or the age of the earth. We would have noticed. Pegasus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you are Christian that rejects the holy book that your religion is founded on and is divinely inspired? Doesn't the scriptures say something about "lukewarmness"? Just an obseervation. No offense intended, I needed a nudge like that a few years ago. GOt me thinking. Best of luck to you finding the right thing for your family.

Guest Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 ummm I think Prisca is off a bit about what this forum is for. Thanks to the others. I was wondering the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to you finding the right thing for your family. Thank you for your concern. While I'm sure your intentions were good, your logic is faulty. Young Earth Creationism is just one interpretation of scripture. In the future, you might remember that telling someone they are a lukewarm Christian because they don't follow your interpretation of scripture can indeed come across as offensive. Oh, and I don't believe that the age of the earth is a salvation issue or that God cares at all what we believe about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keptwoman Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I often find the most offensive things people say are accompanied by "no offense intended" it's always puzzled me. Does the offense miraculously disappear with that wee disclaimer? I tend to think not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
