I take from the above that you are incapable of determining how religion and science are different from one another. You apparently believe that science makes up it's mind on the facts in the same manner as one does their faith.
Now I understand your confusion.
No.
My point is that neither side are aware of this though and are not separating the two.
There's a greater issue which is the liberal mentality is trying to re-live past glories. They love to relive the glory of the Vietnam days and the current circus in Crawford Texas is a perfect example.
They also want to relive the Monkey trial of 1925, or actually, more the Inherit the Wimd version of it where the conservative demagougue is brought down -- literally to death in the case of the play/movie -- and their intellectual and moral superiority is once again established.
It's another lefty replay of their tired old paradigms.
Nothing really to do with learning science or not.
And it of course federalizes the issue of what -- or rather how a subject -- is taught in a classroom thousands of miles awy from DC so that makes Dems very happy.
