You are comparing a possible theory taken seriously by some of the higher ups in the scientific community that doesn't have evidence contradicting it, that evidently does have a place in serious discussion as to the nature of our existence and universe, to the obvious bullshit of creationists who believe in a literal interpretation of genesis or that the world is six thousand years old, and the obvious fantastical elements within a story created for entertainment. I don't think it's a remotely fair equivalency to draw.

Point taken, but I think the dispute here is whether or not such fanciful discussion is necessary for introductory science class. I contend that it is not. It doesn't have evidence in support of it either so to say that it's taken seriously I think is going a bit far.

What would your response be to secular people like Noam Chomsky, who contend that the U.S. Educational system itself is designed to impose ignorance and actually DIScourage true and independent thought?

I don't think that I know enough about the in-depth workings of the educational system to comment much.
