I would generally give her all the options without picking one.

"you know, lots of people believe this, while others believe this, and still others....." "you will have to grow up and decide for yourself" "you will hear stuff at school, church, peers, and later at college"

That way, you can be a cool uncle, without troubling her, or upsetting the rest of the family.

That's along the lines I'm thinking. She is an extremely smart girl, so she'll eventually, at the very least, be able to compartmentalize beliefs from scientific fact (she'll have to, she's considering biology for her college major).

It's a really touch and go subject - especially at that age (and with her background). You hate to see children being raised in a 'think like this' format, but both sides are guilty of it.

Just be as open with her as you can without going into the doghouse with the family.

approach this stuff like you would if you are on the side of the road. if you know the road leads to a bridge that is out, step up and say something.

if you know the road meanders and goes in many directions, then it's ok to be quiet unless the person pulls over and asks for directions. otherwise, the hardest thing is to trust them.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
