Science is science, and ought to be taught in our public schools conservatively, from the professional consensus, as settled fact. It's a statement of faith that science is "settled fact." I have a book at home about the history of cosmology. It relates how a series of theories about the origin of the universe were each once considered "settled fact," only to have each blown out of the water by new information.

If I'm reading Derby correctly, he's saying that's okay, and to be expected.
