The Big Bang Theory

Rylee is learning about the Big Bang Theory in Science.  She is truly bothered by the fact that she has to learn this "theory."   Furthermore, she is convinced her teacher is Catholic (because the teacher's daughter was an Us In The Son counselor) and she must not buy into the theory either but be required to teach it.   

Well, for the sake of Rylee's GPA I truly hope she is correct.  When filling out her homework packet on the Theory, my daughter wrote answers like the following:

1.  What are some other hypothetical theories about the creation of the universe?  Answer:  THE BIG BANG THEORY. 

2.  Who is responsible for the creation of the Big Bang Theory?  Answer:  GOD.  

3.  The universe was created by the Big Bang Theory and it grew......?  (BY GOD)   She did not even give that question a chance.  

I found all of this very amusing.  But more importantly, it made me smile.  The faith that I hold dear is being passed along to my child.  During this time of year, that is the best gift I could receive.    

I am not certain what her grade will be on this packet, but Rylee feels vindicated.  On Friday, her teacher talked with her after class and said, "I know God's real but we are discovering how he made the earth."
