Hello @Homeschool_Forum ! I can’t begin to explain how excited I am to be part of this forum! I believed in YEC for most of my life–that’s almost 50 years! I only recently had a drastic change of heart, mind, and faith that moved me toward evolutionary science, et. al. I have been home schooling my children since 2003 (I mean really since 1994 when my first child was born, but officially since 2003). I currently have 5 children. My oldest is a Staff Sergeant in the US Air Force, she will be 24 this May. My next is 19 and she has a full time job at the local Walmart. My soon-to-be 17 year old is attending public school (that’s another story all together, lol). Next, I have a dino-enthusiast 11, soon to be 12 year old daughter and boy can she tell you a thing or two about dinosaurs! My youngest is our only boy and he is 2 1/2. He is our foster son through a kinship placement (another story!). Can I ask if anyone else is “new” to evolution thinking? I’d like to ask if you struggled with the transformation of thought? I felt so overwhelmingly guilty for having taught my kids incorrectly for so many years–I asked their forgiveness, naturally they forgave me, but it’s a struggle to “undo” all that teaching. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Anyway, if anyone is interested in my other “stories”, I’d be glad to share–the one from YEC to evolution is a whopper too. Hello to all and I look forward to some amazing discussions!!
