Indeed, it was a mistake, but here is the core difference.
When a secular establishment discovers a mistake it readjusts itself accordingly and we all benefit from now knowing what is most likely to be true.
When a fundamentalist establishment finds out it makes a mistake it lies, blackmails, shrieks hysterically and refuses to move an inch.
Why should we not trust those who pursue truth if not more than any less than those who don't care if what they teach is true or not?
The fact remains those who used this tactic to deceive knew they did it and they let it go for years, so what else is out there that is being hidden so it can be taught as real evidence. You all don't seem to understand what was done is as bad as what you say Christians are doing. No one wins on either side when deception is used.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
