These discussions can never achieve more than people describing their own 'take' on how we interpret 'suddenly' finding ourselves living here.
- i.e I wasn't born with any previous memory that I can detect, I was just here, so whether the universe we can see was created over billions of years, or the last 10 thousand, is purely down to how we interpret the data - and there are new data coming in all the time...
However, in order to form an opinion, it must be possible to access the interpretation of that data on both sides of the debate - so in that respect I believe both scenarios should be discussed in teaching the concept of 'where we come from' ?
However, imo, one should not be promoted over the other, let people make up their own minds, but not in a way that assumes any other opinion thus becomes 'wrong'.
