So as we were waiting for our food, the kids as usual were working their way through the kid's menu activities. This one was based on the movie Dolphin Tale, and featured a true and false quiz on dolphins. I have to say I was very impressed with my 6 year old, Andrew, as this started because he apparently knows things about dolphins that I don't. Like the fact they talk through their blowhole, not their throats. So we got to the last question and it says: True or False - Dolphins were once land mammals. Well the answer on the little key I was reading along with is true, so I wait to see what Andrew will say and without a pause he's like false.
I think good answer, but say "OK the paper says it's true why do we know it to be false?"
He says exactly what I wanted to hear. Because God created animals just the way they are. Then I went on to remind him that evolution is just a theory and while some people believe in it, it's not a proven fact. Well my little boy wants to know why anyone would believe a land mammal would turn into a flipper bearing sea creature, but can't believe into a loving God who created this beautiful world. That I can't answer.
As disappointed as I am in Applebees for blatantly pushing an unproven theory as fact. I am very happy that through my efforts in homeschooling my kids they are growing up with a strong Biblical worldview and faith in God. Thank you Lord for leading me down this path.
