Hey there, I’m looking for books and resources for kids that specifically reference (positively) theistic evolution or that profile scientists who are outspoken about reconciling their faith and belief in evolution. I’d also be open to non-fiction or fiction books for upper elementary/middle grades that depict Christianity in a positive way without being preachy.
My nine-year-old, having been confronted with this common idea you can either have faith or science but not both, has emphatically decided, “Science.” I want to respect her beliefs (or lack thereof), but I’d love to provide more context and show her it’s not weird to believe in God and evolution (no matter what her grandmother may have told her).
Any book/video recs are much appreciated. We have CuriosityStream as well as Netflix, Hulu etc if there’s anything there that might be good for a smart, skeptical nine-year-old. I signed up for the virtual Biologos conference and I’m hopefuly that perhaps something will work for us to watch as a family.
They’re a little younger, but have a lot of words…so I think it might still be okay for your little!
