Religious orthodoxy does neither. That's why the Church tried to excommunicate Gallileo and Copernicus but the scientific community welcomed the work of Gregor Mendel.

I'm the last person that wants religion taught in schools (or anywhere else). I'm just quibbling with the idea (not yours) that because the scientific world believes it, then it is a fact.
