I hate the fact that they sell a "feel-good" version of the flood story to kids. The other day my son was on the computer looking at Youtube videos. He's just old enough to where he knows how to click on things, so I'll load a video for him. He'll click on the different links with it, and he happened to stumble upon a Noah's ark video for kids. My wife and mother-in-law(Catholics) were sitting there, and I said, "Hey, isn't this the one where god kills everyone on earth?"
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
