A curious little girl, wide-eyed and full of questions about the world, approached her mother one afternoon and asked, “Mom, how did the human race come about?”
Her mother smiled warmly, pleased with the thoughtful question. She gently explained, “God created Adam and Eve. They had children, and from them, all of humanity came to be.” The girl nodded, satisfied for the moment, and went on her way, turning the answer over in her mind.
A few days later, still pondering the mystery of human beginnings, she decided to ask her father the very same question. “Dad,” she said, “how did the human race come about?”
Her father leaned back thoughtfully and replied, “Well, many, many years ago, there were monkeys. Over time, through gradual changes, humans developed from them.”
Now thoroughly puzzled, the little girl tried to make sense of the two very different explanations. After thinking about it for a while, she went back to her mother and said, “Mom, I’m confused. You told me that the human race was created by God, but Papa said we developed from monkeys. How can both be true?”
Her mother paused for a moment, then gave a calm, knowing smile. “Oh, sweetheart,” she said gently, “it’s very simple. I told you about the origin of my side of the family, and your father told you about his side.”
And with that, the little girl finally understood — at least enough to stop asking questions for the day.
