"You go talk to kindergartners or first-grade kids, you find a class full of #science enthusiasts. They ask deep questions. They ask, "What is a #dream, why do we have #toes, why is the #moon round, what is the birthday of the #world, why is #grass #green?"These are profound, important #questions. They just #bubble right out of them.You go talk to 12th graders and there's none of that. They've become #incurious.Something terrible has happened between kindergarten and 12th grade." #CarlSagan

@gojonnes I was fascinated with dinosaurs and rocks. I kept asking why are there no dinosaurs in the Bible? So Mom took me to the preacher. I don't remember what he said but we prayed. Shortly after that I was baptized.
For some people it seems to have all the answers. I guess they ask the easy questions. I hear it is Donald Trumps favorite book. He has never cracked it open but he has sworn on it to tell the truth. Apparently lying on a stack of Bibles won't cause you to burst into flames.
