Well bill, if you are still around........yes children will believe just about anything.   And it depends on the age, IMO, how you handle it. As the parent, believing scripture as authoritative why would I want to sow doubts. In their heads. As they get older, they will get enough indoctrination at school. I don't really imagine Steve telling the kids that evolutionism is just a story and cannot be shown to be true !   So, for young children I think it is perfectly proper to instruct and expose their kids to Christian teaching as being true, just as I am convinced it is. However, as they get older the game plan will change to telling them why we believe it is true , with the hope that they will retain / embrace the faith as they grow into adults, or perhaps return to it later.   Part of that game plan will involve telling them facts that are contradictory to evolutionary theory and it's deep time story.   On the one hand evolutionism has the upper hand (at least in the UK ) because it is all pervasive and presented as factual, but on the other hand for the informed creationist, it is relatively easy to highlight a few glaring holes in the evolutionary faith. After all , after all these posts and threads , you,s still not demonstrated it is true.
