Far from irrelevant since they hold a significant amount of political power and continue to use the legal system to try and influence what's taught in science classes to kids.

Chicken and egg thing?
I don't know, when I determine that's someone willfully ignorant (far worse than stupid IMO) why continue to try and teach? If the answer to the question "what would change your mind" is "nothing ever could", what's the point? Though personally I usually do anyway just because I can never let things go, but that's my psychological problem
Stupid may be the wrong word, but only because of the definition not because of the strength.
