I suppose it is my turn to apply all contributed translations.
I should be able to do so on holidays. Sorry for delay.

Scientific education and religious education are incompatible. The
clergy have ceased to interfere with education at the advanced state,
with which I am directly concerned, but they have still got control of
that of children. This means that the children have to learn about
Adam and Noah instead of about Evolution; about David who killed
Goliath, instead of Koch who killed cholera; about Christ's ascent into
heaven instead of Montgolfier's and Wright's. Worse than that, they
are taught that it is a virtue to accept statements without adequate
evidence, which leaves them a prey to quacks of every kind in later
life, and makes it very difficult for them to accept the methods of
thought which are successful in science.
