Most science teachers are probably not religious fundies. Sure let's take a look at the science behind the creation story and see how evidence for Creationism stacks up against evolution. Or how evidence of the age of the universe stacks up against the 6000 year old earth story. Maybe we continue on with calculating the dimensions and materials required to create an ark big enough to provide housing and food for every species on earth for weeks, and how they managed to populate the new world and Australia with species not found in the Middle East where the ark landed. And then on to Jonah and the three days he spent living inside a whale.
