How do you get children and others to understand the difference between who is telling the truth and who is not? It would seem easy to understand how they could say, how do you know the scientists are telling the truth?
Yes, I get it, but how do you explain and get others to understand it when they are hearing religion from childhood and science, especially evolution, much later?

I agree. Evolution can be taught in primary schools, and should be. This will add to the child's store of knowledge so the creationist deceit will not take hold so readily.

Colossus, the Forbin Project was pretty reasonable. I read the book ages ago and it does follow the book very closely. I also find it amusing both in its conception of the size of the machine necessary to accomplish that much computing power and t...
