You meant Bart Ehrman...he's from my neck of the woods and have personally seen him speak twice..
My problem in putting creation in the science classroom is what's put in the science class has gone through a scientific process of testing, peer review and approval. The creationist want to skip this process. If creationist want another view taught, such as the earth is 6000 years old, then that process or theory should be scientifically tested for merit, peer reviewed and approved by the scientific community.... There have been creationist scientist that have attempted to do this, but their methods are always debunked by their peers, thus not accepted..
Accepting "science" based on ancient scripts before the age of science is a matter of faith and I'm a firm believer of separation of church and state...
