I've told her the truth; that no one can be 100% sure, that it's statistically highly unlikely and that I personally am not religious. The rest I'm sure she'll figure out when she has an adult mind capable of comprehending the question.
Which is the major issue for me. Children's minds are not capable of abstract thought, period, they can't possibly be understanding the philosophical nature of "the creation question" and therefore anything you teach them as fact will be absorbed as fact without any critical thinking. And that is indoctrination, in a nutshell.
