My 6 year old son has become rather inquisitive as of late. He asks all sorts of science type questions ranging from "where did the water come from" to "how did the earth form". Now, I am not one to blow these off and I hate to tell him I don't know, so I try and try to answer them as simplistically as I can while still providing knowledge. Each and every time, I think to myself "fuck me I wish I was a creationist so I could just say "goddidit" and have that be the end of it". But what good would that do? What would he learn other than to just move on to the next question?
