Well, he may be...in real life. In real life, christian creationists seek out an education that’s worth a shit.
Ever was it thus. Julián apostate tells us that the Christians of his day we’re constantly complaining (to the point of rioting and harassing educators and students) about how academia got it all wrong....but they sent their kids to the schools nevertheless. His proposed solution was simple. Fine, you’ve got your magic books, go learn from that and leave the rest to we lowly heathens.
This wasn’t appealing to them in the slightest, because they’ve always known better...then and now. In other parallels to today, this became part of the myth of roman persecution.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
