Indeed. They're hard questions to raise for sure. So much of this dialog has been in a confrontational manner; Caesar's Messiah goes to great lengths to layout the research without pointing fingers or getting up on the high horse. My wife is a believer yet still found it compelling.

If you enjoy Dawkins' point of view and want to explain it to little ones and adults, I recommend his book The magic of Reality: How we know what's really true.

I taught my kids two two words. Question everything. Except your father.

If you're into the sciencey thing, read Lawrence Krauss' "A Universe from Nothing". I couldn't put it down.

I tried watching this. WAY too much filler. Too much of them traveling, sitting in airports, waiting back stage...etc. Very little of talking about the subject.
Could only handle about 20 min. I liked it when they talked. (Especially the English guy...the American guy had an annoying voice.) Didn't like it when show them sitting in hotel rooms or waiting for their flights.

Maybe it didn't bother me as much as I watched it in 15-20 min segments. I agree it was hard to stay focused due to lack of real content.
If I want travel I'll watch Idiot Abroad.

I love "idiot Abroad". I was interested enough in the subject matter that i could watch the entire thing in one sitting... however, i was thinking to myself "too much filler". also, my wife and i will usually play either "Crowns" or "Rummikub" most nights and this is the kind of documentary we'll have on in the background while we play. that makes it less annoying.

the proof is in the puddin'. i'm fond of replying to father's day good wishes with "congratulating me for having unprotected sex??? Not something that was difficult to accomplish."
