How to Use this Blog
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
This website is intended for a variety of readers. Below is a summary of the information available on this website and how you may efficiently access the information.
Resources - The Resources page (will) list the majority of the reference materials that I recommend.
Physics - For homeschoolers, I recommend good resource books for teaching physics from an historical perspective. These materials would then need to be supplemented with material from this book or other material to assist in providing a Christian perspective.
Creation-Evolution topics - I’ve tried to gather relevant creation-evolution materials in one place on this blog. Specifically, I’ve highlighted what most theistic evolutionists believe/don’t believe, and have listed prominent theistic evolutionists. The list is not intended to disparage their testimony, but it is intended to caution you and your children concerning their beliefs/teachings about creation, esp. Gen 1-11. Please read through these materials carefully, and check the references. This section also include information on the Intelligent Design movement.
Math - Science and math are very closely related. The teaching principles that I’ve listed for science also apply to math. I have found only one book that attempts to cover math from a Christian presuppositional perspective: James Nickel’s book “Mathematics: Is God Silent?” This is a high school level book that could be used to teach math using one of the resource books listed on the Resource page. Please also note the exceptions that I take to Mr. Nickel’s approach on this page.
Operational Science vs Historical Science - Historically, Operational Science comes first and provides the framework for understanding the Historical Sciences. Accordingly, I have structured the blog by leading with the story of the development of the Operational Sciences. These are the blogs that will have a lot of new information for the typical reader, and may be a bit harder to follow. Most people, though, are familiar with the Historical sciences through the creation vs evolution debate. Feel free to start with this section of the blog first, and then you can go back to the Operational science sections when you have time.
