I am a shallow scientist type and base my views of the universe and its creation on books like 'The elegant universe' and 'A brief history of time'. I realise that these view are sometimes unpopular, and always boring to others. So I seldom voice them.
My mrs took my son to baby singing as a way for him to mix with other toddlers before starting nursery. This was kindly run by the salvation army. At the end of the year the toddlers recieved a diploma. At a little award gathering, where they sang for the parents (aaaahhh). The songs were understandably all christian in nature. Fair enough I thought.
Then out of the blue they pull out a projector and show a ten minute film on how some old grey beardy guy (not trying to be offensive, the guy in the film was old, grey, and beardy) built the planet, everything on it, and in fact the whole fecking universe in 6 days. I realise that this a metaphor or something, but my son doesnt have the first clue how it was actually formed yet. So it might be a bit early days for metaphorical versions.
My counter preachings from the book of 'super strings' did not go down too well ;(
