Maybe it’s dangerous to the faith because people are told that, if they accept it, it must inevitably conflict with faith? Because people argue against it by telling people that if they accept it, that must mean they no longer believe in the faith.
Can you imagine if people continually told you that if you believed in calculus you must not believe in the resurrection? That there is no way calculus can work rather than answers simply appearing, unless you also assume there are no miracles and no God? If people who did not understand calculus told you that you had to choose between calculus working and Salvation, and then some people who did understand calculus also said that calculus means there is no God, because obviously God would just magic the answers onto the page. This is pretty silly, right? But in that world, once you saw that calculus worked and made sense, it would be much harder to retain your faith, wouldn’t it? Not because of anything about calculus, nor anything about God, but because people kept insisting that you had to pick
In that universe, would it be more productive for you to try to stop anyone learning calculus, or for you to point out that there isn’t really any conflict between calculus and God?
I’m glad I live in the UK, where the only people I ever met who had faith and thought it conflicted with evolution were a couple of teenagers who moved from South Africa, when I was in school. We basically politely gaped at each other in incredulity. Nobody told me I had to choose between science and faith, and so I didn’t.
And really? Burn their own habitats? Either your tongue’s really just stuck hard in your cheek or you really don’t know what you’re talking about. Even basic lore would tell you that dragons live in caves, mountains, and other dark, hot places. You can’t ‘burn’ them in the sense that you’re describing.
