I used to let my son watch Bill Nye, but he is such an evolutionist, or anyway years ago he was, we had to stop.

Well I reckon, but your kid is going to run into ideologies you don't dig his whole life. Being blissfully unattached and having no tricycle motors myself I can sit here and platitudinize til the cows come home about child-rearin' but I always thought it better to teach a kid critical thinking skills so he can handle bogusness... JMHO...

Critical thinking skills? You betcha. Let's build a foundation for belief then add the critical thinking skills though. At middle school (6th grade on) they can begin to truly look at things objectively. imo.
