For it to be a lie, the people making the claims must know that their claims are false. You have yet to demonstrate this, nor have you even demonstrated that the claims are false.

And for you to say their claims are true you must demonstrate this. However, you have already stated that it can't be demonstrated. So what do you call believing something that hasn't been proven? And, why should it be allowed to be taught as truth?

I say that their claims are, thus far, the best explanation for given observations. You are attempting to hold me to claims that I have not made.

However, you have already stated that it can't be demonstrated.

I have stated that the claims cannot be proven, like all claims in science. However, there is substantial evidence supporting the claims.

So what do you call believing something that hasn't been proven?

That depends on the "something" in question, and the evidence presented for it.

And, why should it be allowed to be taught as truth?

How do you believe that it should be taught?
