Muslims at least accept that Jesus WAS a prophet sent by God....


"Muslims believe in the prophets and messengers of God, starting with Adam, including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them). But God's final message to man, a reconfirmation of the eternal message, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad . Muslims believe that Muhammad is the last prophet sent by God, as God has said:

Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men, but he is the Messenger of God and the last of the prophets... (Quran, 33:40)
"


...this doesn't exactly please Christians, most of whom who are determined to insist that Jesus was sent as a messenger for 'the entire world'.
So the problem remains that ANY religious system that demands that its basic premises must supersede any seemingly contradictory ideas of science are in constant conflict with the evidence of the world around them. There are technical names for these flaws of logic & reasoning, but the ability of hoomin beans to simply state that they don't CARE what science & logic say makes teaching science a difficult task.
