Ok .. I said I was going to keep quiet from now on .. I can't resist this one, so here goes …

If we tell kids "we don't know" to all these types of questions, and give them no further info/exposure to the discussions and conceptual thinking going on, what kind of message is that truly sending them about science ?

(I don't really know the answer to this question … but it concerns me).

The original article, which I unashamedly, plagiarised for this thread is here .. by Phil Plait (for those interested in the mainstream answers to all those probing questions! )

Cheers & Rgds
(& thanks for being so patient with me on this one !)
