Science books would be written by those how use science in the best way
they know how, and you can teach your delusions to your children at home.

If it's science with no atheist religion attached, then why have there been
fakes made to support evolution? You know with all the vast sound
scientific fossils, why were there fakes?

This is a nice example of the key difference between science and
religion (and why creationism is not science).

Science is self correcting, the fakes are found out. Scientists are
always actively searching for places where the current understanding
breaks down, trying to prove themselves wrong. (An idealised picture to
be sure, but true over the long term and is the process that science
at least aspires to be.)

Religions are the opposite. Absolute Faith is held up as the
ideal. Things are made up, stories are told, and they endure, mutating
and combining occasionally, for 4000 years.
