Dinosaurs and God

Recently I was teaching in a second grade class and we were learning about fossils and paleontologists, we discussed how dinosaurs' bones were found and put back together like a puzzle. A young girl raises her hand eager to share something. I call on her and she tells me she knows how and why dinosaurs died. I ask her to explain and she continues.."God was mad that dinosaurs at all the people and he killed them all!" As I looked around the room I saw the confusion and surprise on the little student's faces. I didn't have the heart to tell her otherwise so before I could respond in a polite way another student chimes in and says "No! It's because the asteroid hit the Earth!" the little girl's face was priceless...she was so confused but stood by her story. This is one of those teaching times I had to write about....
