I think it's because he is showing you that you are wrong in such simple,
clear and logical ways that you are having a great deal of trouble hanging
on to your cherished notions.

because there is no evidence at all to support it and lots of evidence
which contradicts it. There is no constitutional reason that the mythology
of one religion should be taught in a publicly funded school and not the
mythology of all other religions. To only teach the mythology of one
religion and not the others is establishing a government religion. To try to
teach all the mythologies of all the religions in science class would be
rediculous.
Of course, people who long for the government to establish a required
religion to the exclusion of all the others are arrogant enough to believe
that that religion will be their own.
