History of the World - Part 4-year-old

Gentle Reader,

In this heated run-up to the November election, my preschooler presents us with an elegant solution to the great creation vs. evolution debate. Successfully condensing the history of the world down to four key events, his summary offers something for those on both sides of the argument.

"OK. OK. So there were dinosaurs, then cavemen, then the Battle of Gettysburg, and now we have now."

Ardent creationists are thrilled by the nearly simultaneous sequence of dinosaurs and cavemen.

Logical disciples of Darwin recognize that a sequence, however slight, exists.

Mention of the Battle of Gettysburg appeals to the patriot on both sides of the aisle.

And, of course, we have now. In this now, anything can happen.

God's will is known only to Him, and we can pray for strength to submit to His plan for the world.

or

Man is capable of self-determination, and grassroots organization coupled with a strong message will shape the destiny of the nation.

It's the possibility that makes it interesting. Anything can happen and usually does.

Stay tuned.
