...our children about God? We could explain evolution to them. Show them how it is a beautiful and convincing explanation for the diversity of life. show them how genes are shuffled and sometimes mutated in each generation, and how there are now many experiment across multiple generations where evolution is observable.Then teach them about planetary formation and show them some to the billion year old rock formations on their own planet.
And after we teach them this, we can say "some people believe that a super being created all the life and put it here, and created this planet, and wrote a book about it a few thousand years ago back when people were very ignorant about almost all aspects of the physical universe. this being is invisible and they call it a god, and they have various rituals that they believe they can communicate with or please this god"
Should this be the order we teach our kids?
jim: we place children in child seats because of an understanding of kinetics, a science that we all accept (at least i hope you do)
Im not sure it's the same thing
