Evolution *And* Creationism

Carley had a very serious question for me yesterday.

C: Where did people come from?
N: You mean like you and me?
C: Yeah, where’d they come from?
N: From mommies and daddies. Mommies and daddies make babies and babies grow up to be big people.
C: But where’d they come from?
N: I don’t understand what you mean.
C: The first mommies and daddies and people.
N: Oh! Well some people think that God made people.
C: Where’d God come from?
N: Hmmm. I’m not really sure where God came from. Some think people came from God but some people think that people came from apes.
C: [funny look]
N: Like apes changed over a very long period of time, learning how to walk standing up and making tools and stuff. Over thousands of years they turned into people a long, long time ago. Not like people today but a different type of people.
C: I know! Maybe the apes made God and God made the people.
N: Maybe.

Apparently she's figured it out. For now.
