Yikes.<br /><br />This is, at least, encouraging: "In more hopeful news, some Christian home-schooling households have apparently had enough with pseudo-science. The Atlantic reports that a growing number of these families is now requesting that the textbooks they use teach mainstream modern science, including the evolutionary model."<br /><br />We are evangelicals, and our family started homeschooling last year. We've been shocked at the popularity of young earth creationism in homeschooling circles. Has it always been so? It seems like pseduo science peddlers got a foothold in the homeschooling community while people who would have issued correctives weren't paying attention, and now it's entrenched. <br /><br />Another thought: I would distinguish between evangelicals generally and fundamentalist evangelicals specifically. It seems like fundamentalist literalism forms a dividing line (chasm? gulf?) in the evangelical movement.Freeman Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16202310075717963694noreply@blogger.com
