I was part of that ...Thanks for this post, Jeanne! I was part of that discussion about T&T, and I feel like you really understood my point as a Catholic--thank you for that! I agree with you about the difference in covert and overt bias; I feel like when an author is up front about his perspective, reading the book is like having a conversation with someone I might disagree with--and I can learn a lot from those kinds of conversations. It feels much more authentic to me. When the bias is covert, I feel like I have to be on my guard and can't enjoy the stories, even at the "unbiased" moments--and that concern is even more pointed when I'm handing the book over to my children to read (or even reading it along with them). It is a grave responsibility we have as mothers, isn't it? :) Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-25180747798908311112013-05-02T15:01:07.275+10:002013-05-02T15:01:07.275+10:00Wow what a great post Jeanne!

I have many friends who are young earth-ers while I myself am ambivalent. Like you said, it's not a central tenant of my faith. Whether it's literal or not doesn't affect it's truth, which is that God made it by whatever processes He chose. <br /><br />And I think that as uncomfortable as uncertainty can be, it's the place where new ideas emerge or old ideas become stronger.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04550938120677830497noreply@blogger.com
