Lies and Truths

Speculation and lies of fantasy are often initially more interesting than mundane facts as well. But when we start to understand the facts and logic of reality it becomes much more interesting.

I was raised in the wonderment of the Genesis myth of divine creation.

(Few people who believe in that creation story even realize that Genesis has two, quite distinct, creation stories. They believe the first story, apparently not bothering to read past the first chapter of Genesis to read the second story.

These are interesting myths that fill one with wonderment. But the facts and theories that support evolution are more powerful.

Richard Dawkins’ book The Magic of Reality is a good resource, especially for children, to learn about the “magic” of reality.
