Of course. Who wouldn't be skeptical of, say, the following "method" of teaching science to kids, recommended by the great Darwinian eugenist Julian Huxley?
Every child must be taught something about science. And the must not be a mere collection of facts and laws... the spirit of science is best brought home to the child's mind by some account of scientific history. The story of Galileo confounding authority by his famous but simple weight-dropping experiments... how the early anatomists persisted in satisfying their thirst for knowledge, in spite of ecclesiastical prohibitions... the Middle Age's ignorance of the very idea of a gas, or of the fact that the heart pumps the blood round the body... in these and a hundred other ways a realization can be built up of the slow invasion of science into fields where previously blank ignorance or misconception had been masters. If religious bodies should set themselves up to oppose such treatment of science in schools, they will be mistaking their rightful sphere, and their opposition must at all costs be overcome.Julian Huxley, Science and Human nature. 1931
St. Augustine?
Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the heavens, and the other elements of the world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and the moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he holds to be certain from reason and experience. Now it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of faith think our sacred writers held such opinions and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men. If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and they hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of Holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books. For then, to defend their utterly foolish and obviously untrue statements, they will try to call upon Holy Scripture for proof and even recite from memory many passages which they think support their position, although they understand neither what they say nor the things about which they make confident assertions [quoting 1Ti. 1:7].St. Augustine, The Literal Meaning of Genesis, 1:42-43.
