Quote:There is an evolutionary advantage to children believing what adults tell them. "Stay away from the rivers edge or a crocodile will eat you" has helped preserve the species.
However, children can't tell the difference between that and nonsense like "we must make a sacrifice to ensure a good harvest".
Neither would the same child understand rocket science, which has/is/will continue to be researched, taught, and carried out, in theory AND practice by (surprise surprise) real-live, tangible and qualified scientists
Lets try to think out of the box and see what I mean yeah?
