Any such statements would be ... (1) unconstitutional as well as (2) really really bad science.
(1) "Unconstitutional" seems to me like "unbiblical", oft-ammended/interpreted to mean almost anything (by both sides). Yet it seems to have evolved into an excellent "disclaimer" against all *vicars* in the US ...be it Pope, Darwin, Al Qaeda, N.A.S., Philip, or the like.
(2) I concede, it sounds really really bad on science paper. But, the alternative theories of evolution for these 3 *key events* are really really bad flaws, puny scientists delving into infinitely-complex-mysteries; and/or worse yet: "science disproving science"
The greatest flaw continues: science authority misrepresents itself to 9nth graders and (ignorantly) comes across as disproving all *spiritual events* to these children, beginning with these 3 *key* events.
Science academia is most excellent, I agree ... But, we're know-it-alls, puffed-up, defensive, flawed, and clumsy... to various extents.
Should little Sally fully trust everything she reads from Philip, Jar, the N.A.S. and other biology hirelings? They have sin, too. There's plenty of blame to go around.
Who knows? ... Being 'cool' and pre-confessing our sins with public science disclaimers everywhere might actually benefit R&D, discoveries, genetic breakthroughs, etc. ... evoking more excellent science breakthroughs and fewer perverted flaws.
