My Single Mom Life

One of the other books I bought for my sis and the girls was Humanism, What's That?: A Book for Curious Kids.

"A conversation between Mrs. Green, a science teacher, and her students forms the basis of this thoughtful work. Starting with the historic concept of separation of church and state, the curious youngsters' insistent questions lead to a conversation of philosophic issues: When a fellow student is injured on her way to class, they wonder why they aren't allowed to pray for her in class. Why do some people believe in God while others don't? What gives life meaning? In the course of what becomes a parent-approved after-school discussion, Mrs. Green presents a humanist point of view, emphasizing science's explanation of life and freedom of thought."

I love this book!
It helps to answer the questions kids may have about non-belief in a way kids can understand.
This book is designed to teach your kids HOW to think, not WHAT to think.
It gives them the tools to look at things using logic and reason to find the answers, not just a here, this is what I believe and so you need to believe it too way of looking at the world.
Another great book for free thought and humanist parents.

And on this topic, the Creation Museum opens this Memorial day weekend in Kentucky.
" Next week, the religious right will take a bold new step in its campaign against science education in America. The creationist organization, Answers in Genesis, will open its $27 million "Creation Museum" in northern Kentucky. The Disney-like museum is dedicated to promoting the falsehood that science supports the notion of men and women cavorting with dinosaurs on a 6,000-year-old Earth.

From denying the facts of evolution to lying about the known age of the universe, the "museum" represents an assault on our children's basic understanding of fundamental scientific principles."
