I would definitely wait until they were more mature. Another point is by the time they learn about the world around them (they've been working on logical thinking skills and reading, and things of that nature) they should be presented the facts and left to draw their own conclusions, becuase there teaching up until then would have shown them how to think logically. All of my science teachers have done that on one topic or another, and it can be very thought provoking.
