So the debate is not legitimate to you because there aren't enough scientists on the other side?

It's not legitimate for a host of reasons, but there really is a tiny minority on the other side. Try < 1%.

Interesting POV on a conservative forum.........that the minority is necessarily wrong and should be silenced....

Interesting straw man. No, I lie. It's just a straw man, based on a fabrication.

OK.......that's really funny. I believe in actually educating youth, and you mock it. (How about taking away sex ed, and self-awareness classes, and teach a course on the classics including philosophy.........or is that silly to you, Prof?)

My kids' public high-school class didn't have sex ed.. In four years they had one required unit of 'health', which included sex-ed and a bunch of other stuff, such as nutrition, and hygiene. They didn't have 'self-awareness' class either. Do you have any direct knowledge of what's taught in high-school, or are you going by what you've read on NewsMax?

And no, I'm not a science prof, but what does that have to do with intellectual honesty? Are only science profs capable of commenting on the state of University education, and the leftist elites who OWN it? What kind of 'right winger' are you anyway, that you don't know what's going on in higher education these days?

A right-winger who's been an outspoken conservative on campus for the last 20 years, and whose biggest embarassment among his fellow scientists has been know-nothing creationists.

Do you have any direct knowledge of what's taught in high-school, or are you going by what you've read on NewsMax?

Yes (lots). And no. (I don't read NewsMax)

And back to the minority. Why does it matter even if it's only 1%? They're still being silenced by the powerful. Nothing straw about that argument.......and it's not very enlightened of you to make the accusation either.

And I'm sorry that you're embarrassed by your colleagues who believe that God created the heavens and the earth, and understand that the left wing agenda on college campuses might just have infiltrated the science department too. But I can't do much about your emotional baggage, now can I?

The left wing elitists rule on University campi, and since you claim you know that first hand, maybe you should investigate how exactly that came about, and how widespread it really is.
