I need help.

This is less of a debate and more of recommendation page.

I am in a sticky situation. My parents have attempted to raise me in the church. Specifically traditional Lutheranism. As a kid, this was fine. But as I grew older, I began to question the church, still as a believer. If science shown to me in textbooks at school have answers, why cant the church have a simple, concrete answer?

And so I began to doubt, eventually becoming what I am today, an agnostic atheist. Here is the problem. At the beginning of 4th grade, my mother 'felt like god was talking to her' pulling me out of school and into homeschool. Now I must admit it is good being able to wear pajamas, and sleep in. But once a week I go to a tutorial. A flamboyantly christian tutorial, with obnoxiously christian peers. This wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact they are replacing real science textbooks with shit like 'exploring gods creation through physical science'.

I am legitimately worried I am not receiving a full education. At least I get to spend 3+ hours a day working on programming, but thats it.

So my question is, what are some good real science textbooks. Preferably readable online, so as to hide it from the fire and brimstone that would be sure to come if my parents found out.

They dont have to be curriculum science textbooks, just good explanations of things like evolution or biology or chemistry.

Thanks in advance!

Search a regular highschool curriculum, find alternates to the book or older versions, buy them at half-price books or look up pdfs online.


For general information about evolution, sites like the smithsonian are pretty good.

This is a perfect example of how some families seriously shove religion down their children's throats. *sigh

Search up Khan Academy, it's a free world-class video tutorial on how to do algebra, calculus, etc... He does a good job explaining and goes from basic math to hard calculus. He's got 3000+ videos and it's all free. My brother uses it and he's majoring in Actuarial Science and has an internship. It does a good job teaching. You'll likely get a better education there than what those people are teaching you.

Also science wise, if you want to read through textbooks online here's a good site to find a shitload of them (some are bad but most are good core curriculum):

Well if you want to be a programmer when your older and getting to learn that correctly, missing out on some science probably ain't gonna hurt that much.
