      <![CDATA[Actually, I consider PZ Myers quite superficial -- a cheerleader for his side, not a thinker.  (I think I've slagged him before; if not, I sure meant to!) But in this case I thought he performed a public service in gathering resources for parents who value independent thought.  I agree with you that I hope that independent thought goes beyond both superficial skepticism and superficial religiosity.

      <![CDATA[You bet Harold,
    
    So why not look further into the matter rather than dismissing it? 
    
    I am sure there is someone more contemplative than PZ Myers, like, St. Thomas Aquinas that actually looks at Scripture from a 360 degree persprective rather than trashing it because it is complicated (and yes unituitive, illogical, contradictory and the host of other issues that the Scholastics stayed up nights to understand)?

      <![CDATA[Indeed, not all answers are simple, and taking one of the dozens of widely believed sacred books as an unquestioned authority is about as simple as they come.  Good parenting gives kids good values and space to grow.

      <![CDATA[What a heartwarming tale (sarc)!
    
    So tossing aside 2000 years of interpretative reading of the Bible, and just telling a 6 year old to chuck aside a belief because based on a sample size of 1, there isn't an easy answer, is good parenting?
    
    Not all answers are simple.  Perhaps encouraging further research would hold the door open to some intellecutal growth.
