Being a homeshooling teacher has made me ask a lot of questions that I never thought of before.  I am a rather simple person and I take a lot of things for granted without digging for details.  I think this is a blessing and a curse at the same time.

Life tends to be black and white for me.  My husband is the opposite.  He questions everything.   This is good because he asks a lot of questions that I would never think to ask.

I have a child just like my husband.  She questions everything.  As we read our books about history and science, she wants to know how did they figure that out? why is that?  how is that?  do they know for sure?  is it really that way? ect.  And this was only kindergarten!!!

For me, it was because it said so.  Of course, I used the Bible as the authority but beyond that, I didn't question much.  Now, I have to question everything to try to get an answer for her.  Now, I am starting to notice how many books, that are supposed to be non-fiction,  have evolution theories scattered throughout the book.  If I don't believe the evolution parts, how can I believe anything else that the book has to offer?

Psalm 1:1 says, "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers."  

Recently, I have begun to think that  reading a book to the kids that obviously goes against Scripture, such as evolution, is giving the kids counsel from the wicked.  Mainly, because my daughter questions everything so much and wants to know that what we are reading is for sure the honest true.    She also loves fiction stories, but she has to know up front what type of story this is. 

After going to the musuem last week and seeing so much evolution presented as fact, I have done a lot of thinking.  I believe the creation story to be the only truth. I just always ignored evolution.  Now, I have to search for details to explain it.  My daughter is completely blown away, thinking that the scientists say that they "know" how evolution happened and yet it is not real according to the Bible.  The kids have the knowledge that God created the Earth and everything in it, but it causes a lot of confusion to see so much evolution presented as fact.
