Monkey: But Daddy, I want it to be dark now.
Me: Well, we have to wait for the sun to go down.
Monkey: I wish we had a remote control to make the sun go down faster.
Me: Well, God controls the sun, not us.
Monkey: How does He make the sun go down?
Me: It doesn’t really go down, the Earth just spins and so it LOOKS like the sun is moving.
Monkey: So how does God make the Earth keep spinning?
Me: Um, he started it spinning long ago and it just keeps going because of... um… (some mumble about rotational momentum).
Monkey: So how did he make it spin long ago?
Me: Umm, well, there were these accretions disks and it just kind of started spinning and… well… it’s complicated.
Ann: Nice recovery.
