That's because the rest of it hasn't been under constant rhetorical assault for decades. The teacher can't let the class devolve into a public reading of answersingenesis.com when the evolution chapter is reached. It would probably be nicer if the teacher had a website that collected all the standard challenges and their refutations, but I'll guess he was just battening down the hatches and trying to get through the material.

...saying that the only reason they would have to ask such a question is that they obviously have no idea how science actually works...

Sometimes that's true. Like "If man evolved from monkeys, how come there are still monkeys?" If a student is trying to filibuster the class by asking all the standard creationist questions, at some point you have to push on.
