I was homeschooled. Never went to public school. And my parents were christians, so naturally they bought christian apologetic textbooks.
One science (biology I think, high school level) textbook had most of a chapter discussing why the “theory of evolution” was “wrong”. Another book from the same publisher discussed at length why global warming (and the ozone-thinning effect of certain chemicals) was untrue.
My chemistry professor in college, wonderful man that he was, was the first person to explain divergent and convergent evolution to me.
I was homeschooled for a year and a half, but my provincial education system had a public homeschool branch so I was just following the curriculum. It was wild learning about what most people think of when they hear “homeschooled”

Wow. How did you take that? Did you have previous exposure to other sources of knowledge or did that happen before the internet ages?
