How did we get here, Mum?

After a sermon on creation, a curious young boy asked his mother when he got home “Mum? How did we get here?”

“Remember God created EVERYTHING in six days. On the sixth day, he scooped up some dust and made Adam. He took one of Adam’s ribs and made Eve. They had kids, and their kids had kids and so on, so that’s how we’re here,” she explained.

Not entirely convinced, he asked his father the same question. “It began with microorganisms you couldn’t see without a microscope. Over time they evolved–creating algae, fish, birds, tadpoles, for example. Eventually, who knows, but something–tadpoles or algae—evolved into monkeys and apes and eventually humans!!”

Dad’s explanation seemed more logical, so the boy approached his mother again. “You lied to me! Dad told me about evolution.”

Without looking up from her book, the mother responded, “No, Son. I didn’t lie. Your father was just telling you about HIS side of the family.”
