Why?
Do you believe that you should be able to make claims that are pure speculation, provide absolutely no evidence to back them up, and expect that I should accept them until and unless I can provide evidence to the contrary?
Or is this another one of those "Well, the evos are doing it!" gambits to provide an opening to throw around another bucketful of perjoratives?

Show that teaching creation in addition to evolution would cause us to fall further behind.

What do you mean why?
This is a typical example that illustrates liberals think they set the rules, get to ask things of creationists, that they can’t conceive of answering to when it comes to evolution themselves.
Along with the obligatory projections.
Sad.
The evos keep telling us that the people making claims are the ones who are supposed to provide evidence to support those claims; that that is the way science is done.
Well, if you’re going to claim that teaching creation in schools as it was done for centuries is going to cause the US to fall further behind in science and harm science education in this country, you ought to be providing evidence to back that up instead of throwing out baseless, unsubstantiated claims and expecting people to take them at your word.
I’ve provided evidence to show that those schools (private and homeschool) provide better educations than the public schools. Any private or homeschool that uses ABeka or Bob Jones teaches both. One of the main reasons that homeschooling exploded as it did was the evolution only and no God dogma of the public school system.
The main argument of the evos is that teaching creation is going to hurt public school science education. Show it.
