Creation IS Science
I received this information from the Answers in Genesis e-letter this week.
The more I read Genesis, and the more I live, and the more I hear people say st*pid things, make immoral choices and laws.... the more I realize the importance of teaching science from the Bible. Have you ever looked at how much science there is in the Bible? From Creation to nature passages to healings and stories about animals, births, and "When the sun stood still"!!
If we want our children to truly make excellent choices as adults, we must train them from birth that God is our Creator, and He created all for a purpose, with laws and promises.
When they are faced with fallacies and lies, they will know the difference, because it is. To them, that will be what they know to be true, and as they grow, God can reveal some of the 'why's' if He so chooses; either way, they will trust Him.
Q: How could the human race descend from a metaphor? A: During an interview for a Roman Catholic newspaper in Ireland, the reporter told Ken Ham that a person of faith can believe in millions of years. The reporter started explaining that Genesis is a metaphor. So Ken asked him, “Does that make you a relative of a metaphor?” He pointed out to the reporter that the Bible lists the genealogy of Jesus Christ all the way back to Adam. Then Ken asked, “When did the real people stop and the metaphors begin?” The reporter responded, “Well, the late pope said you could believe in evolution as long as man and woman were created with souls.” Ken went on to tell him about how Eve was made from Adam, and they were one flesh. This formed the basis of marriage, just as Jesus taught. If Adam and Eve came from animals, as evolution would have us believe, the whole doctrine of marriage is destroyed. But not only marriage; all biblical doctrines, including the gospel, are based in Genesis. If Genesis is a metaphor, then our doctrines and the gospel would be meaningless.
Antibiblical quote of the week “The Garden of Eden is a ‘myth’, i.e. a historical tale embodying spiritual truth. From the viewpoint of anthropology it is exceedingly unlikely that there was a First Man and Woman. Yet the ‘myth’ contains great truths (e.g. trying to pass the blame to others, wanting to do just what we are told not to do). It shows the universality of sin and sets it within human history.” – Hugh Montefiore, Confirmation Notebook, Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, p. 20, 2002.

We are using the Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach this year. It is a Biblical-based approach, where all subjects are taught, with the Bible as the center. I am diligently reading and researching, and I am looking forward to notebooking and scrapbooking our studies this year.
It also utilizes other popular approaches, such as Charlotte Mason, Delight-directed and writing-to-learn. If you have any questions about what we are doing, please feel free to e-mail me or call me about it.
