Evos started it with the claim that teaching creation would harm science education in public schools.

Show us the statistics for us to refute, or disprove, as you will.

I am not interested in discussing vague claims about what anonymous "evos" have or have not said.

"There is simply no basis for the claim that it will hurt the science education the kids are receiving. On the contrary, evolution has had a monopoly in the school system for decades and has done the science education no good. We continue to fall behind in the world."

There is the claim. Are you claiming that you believe that teaching evolution is the cause of us falling behind, or that teaching creationism instead can't possible make it any worse? If we are comparing our science education to the rest of the world, there are places in the world where creationism is taught as science we can use for comparison.
