In college, I was in a geology class and randomly in the middle of a class session, one of the students decided to stand up and start yelling at the professor about creationism and how the earth is only a few thousand years old, all that crap.
You could tell that he thought this was his big moment of “fighting for his faith” and expected some dramatic showdown with the professor in front of the class because he kept glancing around at the students expectantly as he ranted.
Instead, the professor just quietly said something like, “well, I’m not telling you what to believe, I’m just teaching what I know from my profession.” The student said some final snarky line, I can’t remember what exactly, then sat down again and after a few seconds of awkward silence, the professor just started again where he left off lol.

It was super cringe.
I imagine he could hear the Newsboys singing God’s Not Dead in this head and thought he had really done something.
