we look at tangible, material evidence, and invite anyone who takes the time and trouble to seriously look, to draw their own conclusions.

and then laugh at them and call them stupid mystics if they don't reach our conclusion. /sarc

There's always a danger of being laughed at regardless--this is not relevant to the question of what should constitute issues science teachers should regard as relevant to their task--which is to say: telling children what scientists think.

Biblical scholars, per se, of any stripe are not up to the task of telling scientists how to evaluate scientific issues, or science teachers how to report scientific issues.
