I can't say for sure what I would tell my kids were the situation to arise (which I'm sure it will do, and exactly as George described too!).

But, I'm going to try to be as honest as possible, with regards to my own beliefs, i.e. that some people believe a power greater then us created all that you can see, but I don't.

There's a lot that we can't or don't know and I would like for my kids to understand that and accept that, and not feel like they have to attribute everything to someone or something. The older they get, the more I would encourage them to gain their own knowledge, and form their opinions about these things and if that leads them to God, then so be it.
