Thank you Disney
March 22, 2008
The following conversation took place while driving in the car with my five-year-old in the backseat.
“Mom, why weren’t there any cars, humans, telephone pole wires, birds, sleds, gloves, hats, and houses when the dinosaurs were alive?”
“They didn’t exist yet.”
“Why?”
“They hadn’t been created yet. Humans didn’t exist when dinosaurs were roaming the earth.”
“What does created mean?”
“Create means to make. For example, when you and I make a snowman we start with a bunch of snow. Before we start rolling the snowman parts, the snowman doesn’t exist. But then we can create one using the snow. Create, get it. So God had not created human beings yet.”
“Mom, I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. Snowman existed when the dinosaurs were alive. It’s on a Land Before Times Longneck Migration movie that we got from the library last week….Little Foot and his friends all make snowman when the snow comes. Can you try telling me again?”
“Thank you Disney.”
