I'll take your word for it that you haven't said that, but others have made equivalent statements.

Have you ever said "Christians would'nt do evil things"? Or something like that? If so, you were entirely wrong, as there are a great number of "evil" Christians, even if they are small as a percentage.

Yes, some scientists have used evolution as a baseball bat against religion. But they are a minority, and they're out of bounds.

Of course not. That's so contrary to the tenets of Christianity as to be ridiculous. We are all sinners. We all fall short.

"Yes, some scientists have used evolution as a baseball bat against religion. But they are a minority,"

That number depends on one's definition of "use like a baseball bat." And then, we could talk about "use like a garotte," or "use like a stiletto in the back."

"and they're out of bounds."

Yes, they are. But they're not going to stop, and that's why we need explicit statements, even in science classes, that belief is not the exclusive province of the stupid and the ignorant.
