"Paleontology puts me to sleep"

No way! Don't you love them old dinosaurs Joe?

Palaeontology and geology are subjects I find endlessly facinating, and I was taking a degree until the lack of money and the pressure of running my own business forced me to stop, though I am ploughing on in an amateur capacity.

This brief taste of learning and the instruction on interpreting and recording observations in a scientific manner changed the way I look at life (I am a mature student - in age at least!). The constant questioning of existing scientific models and the encouragement to develop your own opinions was quite refreshing and not what I expected at all for some reason, and this is what creationism lacks, being far more dogmatic than convestional science.

I think you have the right idea Joe, and though one or two of your teams are doubting and perhaps even getting slightly flustered by you teachings, you can bet they are thinking about it and that can't be a bad thing.
