Not at all. It is known by believers. For we know Him, whom to know is to love. Passing that on to kids is a duty.

What is a fact is that so called science resides only on a lie. That is known. We can see it demonstrated here. In that the foundation belief of a same state past can't be proved. Therefore, all that is built up on that foundation is dung.

There is a price to be paid, you know, for having no proof. Not all beliefs are equal. The observed and recorded, and tested and tried beliefs of bible believers are life and death realities. The puss filled insults to the intellect of so called science are unseen, unknown, untried, ungodly, unintelligent, unbelievable fables.

Read your own words, dad. Study them carefully. They apply to you more than to almost every other poster here. Your different state notion is unproved, unproveable, unevidenced. It is not equal to any belief that has at least some evidence.

This whole spiel again? The default is "same state". You are the one who has to provide evidence of a "different state" past. We have plenty of evidence to show the physical laws of the past are the same as now.

So, we ought to be sure to tell kids that a same state past is something we have no proof for. Got it. You have no proof of a same state past, yet it is taught.
Ignoring evidence is not the same as not having any. Would you care to have a formal debate on the matter with me?

Just created an invitation for you dad. I hope you'll except the rules of the debate. I look forward to our discussion!

There is a thread on it in physical science area. If you do well there, an exclysive debate could be arranged. Trouble is, I know you got nothin. Let's see what you got.

A good place to start is to ask your child, "What are the 4th and 5th words in the Bible?"

A good place to start would be to ask yourself "Should I really teach children that evidence doesn't matter?"

What evidence?

The Creation produced none.

Funny, that. Whatever did take place left evidence for evolution and only evolution... but that doesn't matter. The answer is in your Book, and you should Teach children that the Right Answers can't be achieved by logic, reason, inquisition, observation, or experimentation, but by reading what is Written --- right?

Well --- aside from all that rigmarole --- I'd word it this way:

The answers cannot be achieved by science.
