I WAS 9 YEARS OLD when I brought home a book about "cave men" from school.

It hadn't even crossed my mind that there might be difficulties in putting cave men and Adam and Eve in the same world story. But my parents were alert to the kinds of things that can lead to problems for believers.

No, they didn't snatch the book out of my hands. Nor did they call the school librarian and rail at her for polluting the minds of the young. They didn't even tell me, "We don't believe that way."
