Maybe it would be a good idea for the warring parties to cool the rhetoric a bit. This issue does not portend the end of Western civilization as we know it.

It does not, however, follow that every point of view is equally valid merely by virtue of the fact that it exists. Nor does it follow that every point of view must necessarily be given the stamp of approval civilized society provides to those ideas thought worthy of curricular inclusion.

Science can't really meet cultism halfway and still be science. People really just have to adjust to the idea that science is a systematic study of the universe and it finds what it finds because the universe is what it is. (And it has the history that it has, etc.)
