A Children's Theodicy
At dinner tonight we were watching a rainstorm when Elena asked me:
"Papi, I've got a question: If God is all powerful, how come he couldn't stop Adam and Eve from eating the fruit in the garden of Eden?"
Then Antonio follows right along:
"I've got another question: If God knows everything, why did he put that tree in the first place?"
Those are important questions. And mine is the long pause and the careful explanation. How much it helped - I don't know.
But man, isn't it soon to be asking that sort of questions?
