Hey so, I was raised in a very sheltered religious environment, I have changed a lot since I became an adult and accepted that I was just gonna have missed some stuff. I have a kid now though and I don't want to be like... a weird caveman who knows nothing about basic ass science stuff when they have questions or are learning these things in school or wherever. Is there an approachable book or resources about science that fundie-raised folks might have missed? I appreciate this is a weird question but I have to imagine I'm not the only person in this position. (TEST EDIT for reasons)

Hey I’m in the same boat as you! If you happen to live near Chicago or ever visit there, the Natural History Museum there has this awesome, very large exhibit where you walk through the history of the earth. It’s very cool, I learned a ton and spent like 2-3 hours walking through it.

We are legion! If I'm ever passing through I'll have to see what we can do. Maybe kiddo will enjoy it too by then.

It’s the same museum where they have that big T-Rex skeleton, most kids love that.
