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!
