The point wasn't to disparage anyone apart from those who take a fundamentalist literalist interpretation , not that such an approach is new considering St Augustine a very long time ago said that fundamentalist literalists are muppets with little faith and even less understanding who hold the religion up for ridicule

Is using the scriptures to teach against the theory of evolution really any different from using the scriptures to teach against the heliocentric view ?
