Quote:Children are more open to the truth than adults. I wish adults had child-like faith.Children are likely to believe anything that they are told. They're not "more open" to the truth, they're supremely gullible. Or are you claiming that they readily believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy because those are actually real?
But it does make more sense that this is what Jesus was referring to when he advised his followers to be like children: gullible, unquestioning people make the best "disciples" for con men.
"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."
