It all depends on whether anyone in Dover, PA is interested in a career in actual science.

"Actual science" covers a lot more territory than evolutionary biology. In my ~35 years in biochemical research and pharmacological R&D, I do not remember the word "evolution" ever coming up. I "believe" in evolution, but it made virtually zero difference in my day to day activities, which included participating in discovery and development of at least one true "blockbuster" drug. These threads are vastly entertaining, but I am convinced the issue is of far less practical importance than all the heated rhetoric expended on them. Science, including biological science, is data driven, and will continue to be so driven, no matter if a disclaimer to the effect that biological scientists can not (yet) answer every question about the origen of specific body parts appears in textbooks.
