Certainly it seems that they MUST attribute it to evolution, or they face real threat to their positions, regardless of any evidence to the contrary. Certainly, one is motivated to hold to such a theory!
Then it is OK for them to lie to keep their jobs?


Of course not. It's immoral - but it's amazing how people can justify a belief to themselves, even if observation shows them otherwise. If that is what the science field dictates, then they're required to teach it as told.

I don't know that it's our place to say what's wrong. Is it not wrong to needlessly risk the food and shelter of one's family?

The father of lies delights in seeing people in such binds. No doubt his followers take some pleasure in it as well.

Gloat while you can, cowards.

The bulk, if not all, of the responsibility for such lies is borne by the ones who make the decisions.
