The Wonder of the World: Why Science Belongs in the Classical Christian Classroom

Okay, so now we're getting to the main episode content.

I want to ask both of you guys this questions actually.

So at what age did you first become fascinated with science? And if not, no worries.

But was there a particular moment that you remember? Do you have any memories of nerding out over something science related? I'm just curious, what kind of sparked your interest in the field?

I think that I have been a huge nerd since birth.

My childhood is just filled with, how do I design the perfect parachute for my different kind of stuffed animals? Just bringing whatever I could catch outside into my parents' house.

Sorry, mom and dad.

Because a lot of times it was really huge bugs that I thought were so interesting.

And I'd look through all my books and just hold up beetles and be like, look what I found.

They were like, please put that outside.

And just loving gardening and just anything, anything outside.

And I just had a million questions for everything.

And I've just always been so fascinated by how the world works.

I love it.

So sometimes to my parents' chagrin, again, bringing bugs in their house wasn't their favorite.

Bugs, not snakes, right? No, not snakes, not snakes, but sometimes lizards.

Sure.

That's better though.

It's better than snakes.

But yeah, just for as long as I can remember.

Awesome.

Yeah, we'll go to you for the same thing.

I mean, it may be different, maybe the same.

It's actually pretty right on target in the same.

Okay.
