5.0 out of 5 stars There iare plenty of secular science books, February 2, 2011

This review is from: Exploring Creation With Biology - Full Set with Tests and Solutions (Hardcover)

There are plenty of secular science books if that is what you are looking for. This book is for those who believe that this earth was designed by a creator. If you are looking to be taught that the earth began with a big bang or a monkey evolved into a man, this textbook will not satisfy you. There are plenty of other textbooks that teach that. I used this book for my highschoolers to give them a different perspective on science and they found it to be interesting.

2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible, October 2, 2011

This review is from: Exploring Creation With Biology - Full Set with Tests and Solutions (Hardcover)

This text is beyond awful. Useless as a college preparatory text and not even good material for a sermon. Misquotes, mistakes of fact and a misrepresentation of the scientific method and even of the definition of science are on almost every page. Students who are subjected to a course based on this material are guaranteed to be at a disadvantage in gaining admission to any serious post-graduate program from Masters Biology to Dental Hygenics. Does no service to science and even less to the holy Book. I would recommend it as an interesting and somewhat humorous example of pseudoscience and poor editing for a comparative literature survey..... but not to be taken seriously.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Interesting Science Curriculum Available, February 18, 2007

After homeschooling for nearly 20 years and searching for a science curriculum my kids would actually enjoy I'm pleased to say that I've finally found the best science curriculum available, bar none! At last, no more whining about science! And this one comes available with a CD-ROM and a disection kit that you can purchase seperately. If you use the Charlotte Mason approach to homeschooling and enjoy "living books" then this could be just what you're looking for.
