Atleast giving logical reasons is much better than giving reasons which makes no sense. It just makes it easy to understand. Maybe we are behind a lot…but still we achieved a lot. The way human world is progressing is quite unbelievable. If there are some questions unanswered, it would be interesting to find answer for those. For a long time, the theory of Bigbang was doubted, but recent discovery of gravitational waves had changed everything.
Now,considering the raising of a child as i comment earlier. A child’s mind is the parents mind, atleast for some beginning years. In all those years, if the child was given moral teachings as well as science, what bad could it be?? Only difference is, in most catholics school, children were taught moral lessons but also the importance of God and how h/she created this beautiful world. They never mentions science. Ask…who creates the world? Simple answer…God. The same way if we raised a children…the answer would be different. It would be… a more logical reason. A reason which can be proved. At first, give a vague idea of how evolution works. These would leave some interesting questions in the child’s mind. Just like we had some questions when we first heard the line," Man evolve from monkeys". It is not quite right, but it raised curiousity at that time. Instead of just putting in just a word “God”…why not give a more logical reasoning? Mass experiment can be also made. Moral + Science teaching is overall good combination.
I am just saying it cause once i explained my cousin about evolution, formation of earth. He was just 10 years old…but he issued so much interest on the topic, he started asking questions. He even asked me to give books regarding that. I was happy to see him such interest. After 1 year, i visited him. Everything was changed. I asked him about it…he replied his parents were infuriated when he told the same to them. He told me, not believing in the way how god created the world, would be a sin! We shouldn’t question about his creation.
Why it happens?? The reason is from the beginning he has that fear of God. He was quite impressed by evolution and everything, but his fear of God overtook them. So, a child who knows nothing about God from the beginning would never fear also.
Overall, i know in real life, it’s very hard to implement such an experiment. The only thing i am glad to know that the word “God” can be the root cause of fear, belief…anything.
