If you had to explain quantum physics to a 6 year old child and you told that child to write a book about what you had explained, how do you think that book would sound if you read it? Would it sound like actual fact or would it sound like partial facts with a lot of nonsense mixed in?

Imagine the people that wrote the Bible who had no concepts of physics or even plain 5th grade science.

I think it would sound like a lot of nonsense unless the reader of the book were very versed in quantum physics and could pick out the factual bits. What analogy are you making here? The Bible?

It would first depend on my doing a good job of getting the 6 year old child to understand the meaning of the words I was using to explain quantum physics to him. If I did a good job of getting him to understand the words first, then explaining the theory would not cause him any trouble, and he would be able to explain it to others without difficulty.

Let's read the book:
"Light is a good thing. But what is light, no one knows. Some say that light is made up of many balls which are thrown in all directions from any glowing thing.. How nice. I do wish I had such a ball! I could have played with it! Some say that light is made up of waves like I saw when my parents took me to the beach the otther day. But how can that be? I don't drown in the light nor does it pull me away when going back. I don't think ligght is made up of waves. I like light balls."

since this is in the religion catagory im guessing your trying to disprove phisics?
if so your ignorant. if i explained the story of jesus to a 6 year old and told the child to write a book about it wouldnt that sound like "a lot of nonsense"
your blind by your belief. open your eyes and see reality.
if that was your point then bravo...good point.

Wait - read that book 2000 years later and see how many people will start a church of quantum physics.

I would expect the 6 year old to not remember a word I said, nor would I be able to explain it properly in the first place.

Partial facts with a lot of nonsense mixed in. But what does it MEAN???

True. But they weren't trying to write about physics or science, and didn't expect their writings to looked to for those things. They were writing about faith, and giving witness to their beliefs and experiences of faith. And many of the Biblical writers were very intelligent and learned scholars.

I would wait at least until the kid was 8 to start him on quantam physics.

The book would contradict itself a lot and would condone slavery... and to top it off, it would have blatant sexism in it too.
