Maybe there is something back there we might want to retrieve.
Well, Jesus did say that unless we became like children, we would not enter the kingdom of heaven. Which is to say that in order to find god, we must become like children... ignorant and apt to believe whatever a grown-up says without bothering to verify whether or not it's true because we don't want a beating.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
