I know many families who homeschool, and this has never been a problem for them, as there is ample curriculum. I wouldn't advise AIG as source material for home schooling.

Of course there is plenty of error to go around.
Dorothy Boorse, a biology professor at Gordon College, a Christian college in Massachusetts, applauds these underdog homeschool textbooks. "I believe that the best evidence is that the earth is very old and that God used and continues to use the biological process of evolution," she says.
This conflates an old earth as evidence for evolution. Which of course many if not most here reject.
