Depends what the questions are. Questions of philosophy can't be answered by science, sure. Questions of nature and technology generally can, though.

Again, the question I would ask my child (and require him to know) would simply be: What are the 4th and 5th words in the Bible?

And it gets back to what I said recently:
Science is too myopic to be any kind of threat to the Truths of the Bible.

Hespera sez:
No "threat" to the lost language of Atlantis, the seven cities of gold, the cyclops, the lost pyramid or the secret alien base in obama molars either, and for the same reasons.

Yup --- Originally Posted by Isaiah 55:8-9 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
