aged responses the answer to some questions depends on who's asking whom. for example, a 2 year old asks god where the first people came from. god answers simply, i made them. which a perfectly fine answer. but not for a 5 year old. how did you make them? i molded them from clay then breathed life into them. another perfectly fine answer. but not for a 10 year old. i made you smarter and better looking than your dad. i made him smarter and better looking than his dad. and so forth and so on. your great great ancestor was really ugly and really stupid. at which point god can show the 10 year old a picture of an ape like neanderthal like human like creature. which is a perfectly fine answer. then with the 15 year old you can talk about dna and mutations and natural selection, etc. the 20 year old will want to know the details about meiosis and mitosis and rna and amino acids and the messy gory details of life. i'm 45 chronologically. but by this definition i'm about 17. the point is, all of these answers are good, if incomplete. and that's okay. what's not okay is for the 5 year old to be telling the 20 year old to shush. think about. you'd never put up with a 5 year old screaming at you that you're wrong and they're right. the moon is made of green cheese. don't be a spoiled 5 year old about teaching evolution in schools. or god will make your children uglier and stupider than you. and their children uglier and stupider. until your great great grand descendants are literally hairy little apes.  ¶ 8:00 AM
