” Perhaps he would like us to teach alchemy alongside chemistry and astrology alongside astronomy too. They are alternative views also.”

I can hear the physicians who bled people to death to rid them of “bad humors” making the same assertions about the nut who asserted that something called “germs” WHICH WERE INVISIBLE caused diseases.

Well anyone who asserts that germs are invisible is a nut. Germs are visible, you just need a powerful magnifying lens to detect them.

Of course, you're just throwing that out as a red herring, because comparing the scientific method that brought about germ theory to "scientific creationism" is apples and oranges.

Yes. Anyone who does not toe the party-line on evolution is a knuckle-dragging medieval heathen who thinks using leeches to suck blood is the epitome of medical technology. We also beat our wives too. Good lord.
