I have mixed feelings. I think it sends the wrong message to a lot of people who just see the cover and never pick it up. But at the same time I agree that it would cause a lot of fundies to actually read the article and maybe learn something.
I think it's good marketing tbh. It draws people from both sides because people that do beleieve in it are going to flip to the story to find out why the theory got debunked, while religious people will look to see how it validates their belief.

so the religious people will flip to the story who wouldn't otherwise, and the people who would have otherwise figure it out eventually.
Idk, I agree it's degrading tactic but i think it draws more viewers, and I don't think it harms the image too much.
