The story is too one sided for now. I'm going to wait until I see something from the other side of the battlefield.

To most people in the world, the virgin birth IS a fairy tale.
It's becoming less and less of a fairy tale nowadays. Read this article.

Isn't it premature to use past tense?

But if he just says "Genesis is a fairy tale", then isn't that the state treading on the toes of the churches?
On a personal level, what's wrong with that? Pastors and reverends regularly tell their livestocks that those of us that have been and are in academia are dumbasses.
On a professional level, what's the difference between saying genesis is a fairy tale and cinderella is a fairy tale? Remember that equal treatment stuff? I would hate to not be able to refer to the little red riding hood as a fairy tale.
