As I noted, I will take a creationist Christian position as a worldview. Worldview, however, has no bearing on fact.
Therefore, while I will retain editorial control over content - at least until I get to know people - I will not exclude those of differing worldviews as long as they are able to separate interpretation from fact and will maintain objectivity.

Philosphy
I will write from a Christian viewpoint but I do not expect that it will be a mainstream Christian view.
Factual information will be documented to the extent possible - to avoid frequent and distracting footnotes I will rely more on bibliography and in-text references.

Plan of Attack
There will be several main topic headings, and (if I can figure out how) subtopics under the main topics.
Any post can and will be subject to edit, re-write or deletion and replacement.
There will also be an accumulation of specific reference material and links to those materials for the purpose of providing other material for study and for the supply of a corpus of documentation.

Write the Textbooks
There are several fine home school textbooks and curricula available. The cost and comprehensiveness varies.
Lately I have contemplated the idea of writing a textbook, well a set of textbooks, which could be used by anyone, written by anyone, and adapted to the student as desired and which incorporate my worldview - while retaining the rigor necessary to equip children to face the competition for college or vocational education.
At the same time, I have observed the popularity of the several wiki, e.g. wikipedia, and this observation instigated a curiosity.
Although I lack the funds to acquire and to maintain a website or the technical ability to run wiki software, I wondered if a blog spot could be the next best option (or an interim solution).
So here it is.
If it is so destined, then the participants will appear. If not, well at least I have made a space to hold what I write myself.
If you are interested in adding to the textbooks, have ideas, suggestions, ad hominem attacks, or just want to make bizarre comments you can comment below each post or you can email me and we can get acquainted.
