It's a whole long story by Yanki Tauber you can read on Chabad.org but here's the punchline:
"...Then came the letter in which the Greens told the Rebbe that they had decided to place their children in a yeshivah, a Torah day school that would provide them with a full Jewish education. The Rebbe's reply was especially warm and encouraging, as befitting the turning point in their lives that such a move indicated. Then, at the end of his letter, the Rebbe added, "By the way, concerning what you wrote me in regard to the Torah's account of creation..." and proceeded to refute, point by point, Dr. Green's objections to the Rebbe's "unscientific" treatment of the subject.
"You are probably wondering," concluded the Rebbe, "why I waited this long to respond to your remarks on the matter. But my job in life is not to win arguments. My job is to bring Jews closer to the Torah and its mitzvot."
