Judge for yourself:
"The Homeschooling movement is coming under attack.
Recently an article appeared in the Atlantic about certain Homeschoolers wanting what they called more ‘science’ in their textbooks. But sadly, by ‘science,’—they don’t mean observational science, they mean historical or origins science—and they mean the historical or origins science of the evolutionists and old earth beliefs. In other words, there are those in the Homeschool movement who want textbooks to promote the pagan religion of evolution and millions of years as true—which will ultimately lead kids away from the truth.
This week’s News to Note article on the AiG website will discuss the Atlantic article.
In this Christianity Today article (see link) about the Atlantic article, the writer states:
“CT reported how Creation Museum founder Ken Ham, a leading proponent of Young Earth Creationism through his Answers in Genesis curriculum, was disinvited from homeschooling conferences in 2011 for making 'unnecessary, ungodly, and mean-spirited' comments about Biologos's Peter Enns. The fact that Enns was even invited to speak at a homeschooling conference which upholds YEC was "significant" and suggests "a sign of greater openness in the future to more diverse Christian perspectives regarding creation-evolution issues…”.
Well if you want to know the truth about why I was disinvited from those conferences in 2011, read this article:
http://www.answersingenesis.org/article ... onferences The sad aspect that Christianity Today is not telling people is that what I did at that particular conference where Peter Enns spoke was is that I played two short video clips where Peter Enns gives a presentation where he totally rejects an historical Adam and historical Eve (and thus historic Fall)—and I gently but firmly warned people about what this academic really believes.
And the point I want to make again that we’ve made many times is that Christians accepting millions of years or evolution and millions of years is not a salvation issue, but it is a gospel issue and it is an authority issue.
A gospel issue because millions of years means sin is not the cause of death, disease, suffering or bloodshed. It means sin is not the cause of the groaning world in Romans 8:22. It means God’s responsible for death, disease and suffering—not man’s sin!
An authority issue because one does not get millions of years or evolution from God’s Word—such beliefs come from outside God’s Word and then are used by compromising Christians to undermine the truth of God’s Word and thus undermine its authority. We are losing the coming generations from the church—and the major reason is that these coming generations have been led to doubt and eventually not believe the Word of God. The devil has used the same method of Genesis 3:1—‘Did God Really Say.’
The devil is out to destroy the homeschool movement. If God’s people in the Homeschool movement do not stand on the authority of the Word of God beginning in Genesis, then the movement is doomed!
And don’t be lead astray when these compromisers use of the word ‘science.’ Remember, observational science that builds our technology is VERY different to historical science which involves beliefs about the past—beliefs about origins. The compromisers use the one word SCIENCE to intimidate people. Sadly many don’t understand how the compromisers are brainwashing them by not admitting they are mixing historical science (beliefs about origins) and observational science (empiricism that builds our technology) together and calling them both 'science.' It's a trick used by the secularists to intimidate and falsely indoctrinate people to believe that beliefs about origins are on a par with observational science that builds technology.
There is also a statement in the article that is meant as a positive one—but I see it as a WARNING:
“ Sonlight, one publisher which tries to straddle both young and old earth camps, notes how it conveys four views in its science curriculum.”
Homeschoolers certainly need to convey different views about origins and other issues in their teaching—but to do so in the context of teaching God’s Word as truth and compromising views as error! This is the philosophy of the AiG Homeschool curricula, and that of BJU Press and A Beka books.
The compromisers are trying to infiltrate the Homeschool movement--it is the devil's way of trying to undermine this great movement that was formed to raise up generations of kids to stand on the authority of the Word of God and be the salt and light that is needed in the culture.

Compromise produces contaminated salt--which is good for nothing.
Homeschoolers--stand for the truth of God's Word and let your voice be heard!!"
