You gotta’ love Calvin’s dad! He’s a lot brighter than he lets on. There seems to be a strategy behind how he answers his son’s many questions. Calvin’s conclusion — “I should just look stuff up in the first place” — appears to be precisely what his dad wants him to come to — do your own research!
We all have questions — and sometimes our laziness simply demands that others tell us what to think.
One of the reasons I love biblical Christianity is that it challenges us to search out our own answers — in Scripture and in God’s world.
