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.

Must high school science teachers are not qualified in that regard either. They teach what is in the book. Most conservative can agree public school text books have a heavy liberal bias. All things considered I think it is very important that students look at what is in those books with and open mind. In case you forgot, that is ALL that sticker said. I fail to understand anyone can argue AGAINST warning students that a science book is not all fact unless they have an agenda. To argue against including THAT sticker as written indicates and agenda to teach all students that evolution is a FACT and is never to be doubted.

But, by our very nature, we "E" types can quite accurately explain the Bible to you Neandthals!!
