I find myself in a bit of a difficult situation. I live in an area that has lower than average public schools and no secular private schools. I am the parent of a 5 and 6 year old. K and 1st grade. In order for me to feel confident that they are getting a solid education, I have sent them to a private Christian school that has amazing academic scores. I myself absolutely do not believe in the Biblical story of creation. I need some advice on becoming a science teacher when it comes to explaining to children that the rock we live on is more than a few thousand years old. Also, some resources for teaching this in more than just a few conversations here and there. I feel that a proper education in science will form the next generation of great people. I know that they will learn their standard science in an acceptable fashion but much like Christian parents feel the need to teach their public school educated children that God created earth, I need to teach my Christian school children that everything they see is created by a series of accidents and chemical reactions over billions of years. HELP!
