.....Fundamentalists always assume they know the mind of God. To their own children they will offer simple explanations of complex phenomena until the children are of an age where they are able to comprehend more completely, but they assume themselves to be on God's level, and thereby confuse the simple explanation one gives a child with the thing-in-itself.
