It seems that conservatives would make more progress talking about the origins of the universe. Here, liberals are the ones in danger of looking like crackpots because it requires a far greater leap of faith to deny the self-evident truth that the universe can't be self-caused.
I have a better idea. Why don't we just leave politics and religion out of science?
Let the kids learn about how God created the universe in Church or from their parents. As a Christian, I simply do not trust anyone else to teach sound theology.
