Paul1 wrote:The Christian counter-argument is: Try telling a 3 year old the theory of General Relativity.


And I say; try giving a 3 year old a general overview of the ToE. Now do the same with a grown up previously unaware of the theory. Is it impossible? Were humans blathering idiots a few thousand years ago? My guess is they were not incapable of learning(!). And with God as their Teacher (allegedly), where's the problem?

Anther thing is, if a teacher sees that his/her pupil is simply not able to grasp a certain concept, is it then OK to make up something untrue because that's easier to grasp?
