Thank you so much, Amy and Neil. Those are directions I was thinking in. My husband had even suggested the verse from 2Peter. I remember wanting so much to understand everything when I was young, so I was surprised that kids may be comfortable with mystery. Today, I love the mystery part and science doesn't have near the value for me that it once had, but I want to encourage the students to evolve (no pun intended) in their understanding to a point where they have a faith that is mature enough to last forever. I will remember to make it a dialogue and will encourage questions all along.
Blessings,
