It is the unerring Word of God and, as such, provides the framework upon which everything is understandable, including science. As such, all Science Shepherd material is presented from a literal understanding of Genesis, teaching that God created the universe and everything in it in 6 literal, 24-hour days, about 6,000 years ago. Now, why evolution in Christian-based courses? It is important to cover evolution and some basic principles because our children will be constantly bombarded with it throughout their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003ca id=\"preview\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/faq\" title=\"Homeschool science FAQs\"\u003eAdditional FAQs . . .\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Science Shepherd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44612350836819,"sku":"Prev-EarthSci","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/0319\/files\/free-homeschool-earth-science-preview-science-shepherd-min.jpg?v=1778691114","url":"https:\/\/scienceshepherd.com\/products\/free-homeschool-earth-science-preview","provider":"Science Shepherd Homeschool Curriculum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
