No, you actually misused the appeal to hypocrisy. If I had used atheists' hypocrisy on the matter to try and prove P false, then I would have been guilty of this. However, I do not deny that believers believe things that they cannot logically prove to be true, but atheists do this too. It is beyond silly for atheists to object to the fact that believers do what atheists also do.

I don't teach origins sciences for the USDA (they don't have any courses in this field actually). It is all operational science based.
