I'm sorry but I had to laugh when I read this. I know that your post is serious but the fastest way to become Agnostic or Atheist is to spend time with overly religious people.

In order to stay in this job, you have to respect their beliefs enough to pretend that science doesn't exist. Think about this way...if the 5 year old asked you what sex meant or where do babies come from, you probably would jump into an accurate answer. You would change the subject and leave it for the parents to answer. With this family, you'll need to become an expert at changing the subject and avoiding giving an answer. You can also say "I don't know what the bible says about the dinosaurs." This is true, its just omitting that you actually do the scientific answer.

You're not necessarily Agnostic just because you do not accept the historical stories as fact. IMO, fundamentalists confuse philosophical meaning in literature with literal fact. Its a difference in interpretation of the literature not necessarily the core principals of the religion. There are many more progressive Christian churches that focus on the meaning and aren't telling children that dinosaurs were swept away by a flood.

Now, I'm Agnostic so I believe that man doesn't know the philosophical or core principals either! [/quote]
