Interesting enough, last summer, when the moon was full, I took my 12 year old son outside at about midnight, and I covered his eyes, then walked him to the backyard. As I still had his eyes covered I said this to him: “I want you to think of the moon, and what you were taught in school. That the moon is 250,000 miles away from Earth, in space. Also think about anything else school taught you about the moon, maybe rotating around the Earth so far away(I still had his eyes covered at this point!). Do you have a good vision in your minds eye about what they taught you about the moon in school?” He thought about it for a few seconds, and said:”Yes I can see in my mind the moon and what I was taught.” I said ok and removed my hands from his eyes, but as I did I said Look at the moon with your eyes, V.S. What you were taught, and tell me that the moon is so far away and in space? He stared at the Full Moon with the clouds in front and behind it, and said:”The moon is in our atmosphere, and there is no way possible that it is so far away and just hanging in space!” I said now you have an independent mind that thinks for yourself… he was quiet for a day or so, just contemplating what he seen.
