What if a child refuses to obey
Obedience is simply a response to verbal instruction. What happens if a kid ignores you and keeps doing something annoying? Disobedient children are rather common. How can *science* correct this situation? I mean, seriously, religion simply tells the kid to obey his parents, and if he doesn't he gets "the rod". Pretty simple, especially after the parent demonstrates it a few times. The kid obeys the parent after that.
What can science do to replace religion in this situation?
