Is the creation/evolution debate taboo in our churches?

I suspect that the reasons that very few if any clergy discuss the evolution vs. creationism debate is the exact same reason that they don't discuss the string theory vs. loop quantum gravity debate or the debate on the various interpretations of quantum mechanics: 1) they know that they are not competent to discuss such topics; and 2) they really don't give a flying fugue about the matter and they know that the vast majority of their parishioners also really don't care. Those of us who frequent this forum sometimes delude ourselves that this is a really hot topic in the world of discourse. In fact, their are only a few dozen of us - a couple of hundred at most - and that is out of the roughly 200 million people (in the US) who frequent the web.
