If the instructor said something about God as the explanation (i.e. “because God did it”) the student would learn nothing of value as it either already aligned with the students belief, or it contradicted it.
The real world utility of invoking divine providence as an explanation for physical phenomenon is negligible at best.
There is a reason why technological advancement is tied to science and not theology.

That sounds more along the lines of the politically correct liberal and/or atheist position than anything else to me.
The point flyng over your head, is as a Christrian it should be crystal clear that the purpose of baby teeth, particularly to a child, on a Christian level, isn't that divine will NEED be explained but that it is a wonderful opportunity nonetheless. It need not be invoked or REVOKED. For all this nonsense about scence being compatable with religion, you evos bend over backwards to destroy your very own posotion!
You are the only Christian I'm aware of that can not and will not say evolution is God's design, scientifically or spiritually or otherwise.
It does not follow logically that a Chrstian would find it important to tell a little girl her baby teeth weren't part of God's plan.
But what is plain to see what's more important to you, your spiritual faith vs. your scientific faith.
For dreamer, nothing makes sense in biology except in the light of godless materialism.
