I guess you've never had a conversation with a 4 year old? When do you put your kid in school? And why don't they put 4 year olds in school?
I suggest "b" because you are not getting the answers you need from me.
You are trying as Dion, to make sense of something you don't understand. So you just throw material questions at spiritual concepts.
Let me ask you a question?
What are you breathing right now?
It's a breath of fresh air (no pun intended, and I will answer your question) to see that you can be a little reasonable. We might actually be able to have a conversation.
To answer your first assumption, your guess that I have never talked to a 4 year-old is wrong. You could have asked if I have, and I would have answered that I actually have a 4 year-old. This is where I get off questioning your methods, even if it only is my opinion. After all, we have this little fact in common with each other.
As for your next assumption, that they don't put 4 year-olds in school, you are, again, wrong. Go read an article on it sometime instead of coming up with baseless claims. But to answer the real question, "Are 4 year-olds developed enough to do well in school at that age," which is contextually exactly what you are asking, then my answer is: it depends on the natural intellect of the child, and the participation of the parent in the child's cognitive growth. I have a nephew who, at 3 years of age, completely understood the concept of gravity. School starts in the home, and, on some level, a child is always ready for it.
You are correct about the Choice B that I proposed. I do not intend on searching for the truth with you because you cannot fully explain what it is we are looking for. That is why we keep asking you questions, but not just for our sake, but as an exercise in critical thinking for you.
If you believe in spiritual concepts, you must first explain what "spiritual" means, or, in other words, put in terms that someone can understand, and then you must prove that "spiritual" concepts are even something we should be considering in the first place. The evidence you provide must be demonstrable, just the same as evidence provided in a court of law.
As for your last question, "What am I breathing right now?" I can certainly answer this for you. I am breathing air, or, more precisely, my body is processing nitrogen (78.09%) and oxygen (20.95%). The remaining 1% is made up of argon (0.93%), carbon dioxide (0.039% as of 2010) and other trace gases (0.003%). Water vapor (water in its gaseous state) is also present in the atmosphere in varying amounts, by up to 2%.
