Questions asked by 13 and 14 year old kids at a science lecture yesterday.

4. When I was 13, I asked Sister Johnette

how the National Geographic glossy color photo of the dinosaur fossil could be described as over 200 million years old, when you have been teaching us the world is only 6 thousand years old?

She cleared up my misunderstanding. I erred in thinking the dinosaur fossil was real, when it was explained to me that it was actually fake. God put the fossil there to test my 'faith'.

When I came back with a followup question and said ..."but"..I was quickly reminded of the sin of blasphemy that I was currently skirting and should think hard about pursuing.

I can't see a nun teaching evolution. There is no such thing in the Catholic Church I grew up in. That line of thought is not compatible with the whole Adam & Eve kicking off this crap show.

I'm glad to see were in a day and age where you can take their questions without having to threaten and attack them with catholic doctrine.
