I am honest about it and say when I don't know. I then have my DD sit with me while we research information concerning the question in books/online and we draw conclusion from what we find together.
No one knows everything I think that guiding her through the process to find things out for herself is way more important that giving her an answer.
She needs to understand that adults aren't the source of all knowledge and that ultimately she needs to draw her own conclusions about whatever she sees, reads about or hears. As far as I am concerned education is about giving someone the tools and showing them how to use them- not regurgitating the dogma du jour.
The old hand someone a fish or teach them how to fish...
