How Teens think pt 1

This will be the first in a series of posts that will quote students that I know.

In class the other day, free time turned into a discussion on the origin of life, God, religion, etc. (which it does occasionally) and a student (10th grader) started to speak with some authority (he acted like he knew what he was talking about).

As the class listened intently, he said, "God created the universe."

At this point, I remember thinking, "This might turn into a productive discussion."

He continued, "God saw that the world was boring, so he created man." He paused to think as another student made a comment. Then he said, "Then God created Eve so Adam would have someone to have sex with."

I put my head down on my desk.
