Who is asking for such material, and who would buy it?
The issue in the Christian homeschool community is that most of the material is heavy on old school creationism. There are Christian parents homeschooling their kids who want them to get a good science education in a Christian setting. This is the community that BioLogos is trying to serve.
Not entirely true. I believe that one of BioLogosâ targeted audience are also Christian public school teachers who want to help Christian public school students who are confused about the biblical stories they learn at Sunday School and the secular science they get in public schools.
Provide evidence. I believe this accusation to be totally false and unsubstantiated.
Not many people, it would appear.
On a related note: Why doesnât BioLogos market their course to atheists who think they have to reject religion because of evolution? Or is that also a negligible market?
Well, that doesnât make sense. What atheists are trying to homeschool their kids with a Christian education?
More broadly, BL is often criticized for not engaging with non-Christians, and mainly focused on promoting evolution within the Church. That is probably true of the organization, but that is their mission. So it doesnât seem to make sense to knock them for this.
It isnât. Remember the woman from the California Department of Education that I reported?
Yes I do remember, but do you? Evolution, Biologos, and the Classroom
Everyone seemed unanimous in finding you to be wildly overreacting. You said you would reach to FRFF, who likely did nothing, because there was nothing that was a problem there. Notably, the homeschool curriculum of this thread was not even the point of that article.
You can invite NSCE (@Glenn_Branch ) to take a look if you want. You are boxing shadows. BioLogos isnât doing anything wrong here. Period.
Well, except for spamming your inbox. 
That was truly misdirected marketing!
I admit that I do sometimes overreact on BioLogos. They are the soft, cuddly Christians that I have always liked especially Dr. Collins. They are nothing like the Christian Nationalist that I am fighting with now. White Evangelicalsâ Fixation on Washington, D.C. - The Atlantic
OK, so from this discussion it would appear there are no atheists who want their kids to be educated about biology from an explicitly atheist perspective, nor from the perspective that biology and Christianity can be reconciled.
Yet it seems there is quite a healthy market for people who want their kids to learn about biology from a Christian perspective, whether that perspective is that mainstream science is anti-Christian or that it is reconcilable with Christianity.
It seems to me those issues would better be addressed by simply using best biology curriculum available, and then supplementing this with some courses on theology. But I guess that is what BioLogos is trying to do.
I just find it interesting that Christianity seems to be accepted as a potential impediment to a scientific education.
I donât think thatâs true. Rather, I think that the atheists that want this probably also feel secular education already does this.
That seems to be what they are suggesting.
That is clearly what some people think, but that does not make it true.
If it was not true, there would be no need for BioLogos to create this course.
That seems counter to what I have read over at BioLogos, but I could be mistaken. Is there a quote from them on that topic?
Added in edit:
Here is their description of INTEGRATE:
I read that as saying it is aimed at teachers in Christian schools, not public schools.
That would be a niche market within a niche market.
To me, that sounds like teaching golf from a non-football playing perspective.
There are some interesting modules that would probably not be covered in a theology course.
The beef seems to be that some Christian educators want to teach real STEM courses to Christian students in a way that doesnât compromise science but also helps students to integrate it with their religious WV. I donât see any reason to object to that. In fact the fewer Christians raised to see science as incompatible with their beliefs, the better. I want all my neighbors smart and capable and I see no reason why they should need to embrace my godless perspective for that to happen.
The accusation is false, and IMO it is inflammatory. I condemn it, and I expect unbelievers to be less prone to this kind of behavior.
I read it differently as most public school teachers in America are Christians.
The accusation is neither false nor inflammatory. It is a stated purpose by Biologos to give Christian school teachers support in teaching harmony between science and faith. Given that the vast majority of public school teachers in the country are Christian, connect the dots. Biologos isnât as overt as AiG and DI, but the aim is the same - harmonizing science with faith. Secular Science is neutral. Public schools and teachers are required to keep that neutrality.
But you canât lump them in with AIG based on this. Unlike AIG, Biologos doesnât claim there is any support for what they believe theologically coming from science. The harmony for BL comes from withdrawing theological investment from lots of empirical claims. The resurrection might be the exception but that they hold on faith alone without support from science.
Disclaimer: not everyone there is cut from the same cloth and, of course, I canât speak for any of them but that is my impression.
What if that is true, and those who believe in their compatibility are making a theological, scientific and/ or philosophical error? Many believe that, from both sides of the believer/non-believer divide. Is such a view not permitted to be voiced?
