Which is mainly backed by religious groups, to push aside the more scientifically developed (and evolving itself) theory of evolution. What is science to do in front of such willful ignorance propagation intent? Science is about sharing some critically debatable information across the many of us, and across generations, with testable hypotheses formulations adapted to accumulated data.
If that is not enough to make school programs, in a modern school system, see the difference between propagating religion or their cosmogony beliefs systems, from teaching scientific common knowledge, then I guess, they might have to use the same argument types. I am not sure that it is a possible discussion unfortunately. So for me it is a comic relief disappointment creative outlet, in vain.
Some of this is fictional at some level. Either that church itself is not believing in what it is proposing, and then it is a fictional religion, and therefore not a religion, or the belief they propose is a fiction, which I could not talk about, and would not either.
