Why does it matter? I'm not a creationist but the insistence that you take this tiny aspect of a science (origin of life) and make everyone field loyalty to that idea is just weird. It's probably important if you're doing scientific research but not for basic education. You can scoff at creationists about how they don't believe in fossils, but what can the everyday man tell you about fossils? Is it integral to their life? Do they make important decisions based on the existence of fossils? Its basically a bumper sticker belief to 95% of people anyway
All this to say who cares? People choose to believe what they want to believe. And for historical reasons there's this belief common that may or may not align with current scientific thought. Let's not make this a hill to die on if it drives parents away.
