History Repeats Itself

History Repeats Itself
This is the sixth thread in which I ask theists very simple questions that deserve very simple answers. This question is only asked of creationists.

The question I propose to you is:
  1. What is the probability that the same thing that happened with Galileo and the church (geocentric vs. heliocentric) will happen again with evolutionists and the church (evolution vs. creation)? By this, I mean that evolution, in just a few decades, will be as accepted as the geocentric theory is today.
I only decided to put one question this time, so it should be pretty easy to answer. Also, if you are a climate change denier, this applies to you too.

Thanks!

I understand the question but today's day is very different from Galileo's time. To go against the church teachings was heresy. Evolution is MUCH more widely accepted and even within church circles. I don't think it will be fully accepted in our life time, but there will not be the level of intensity as in the geocentric debate.

So you are not a creationist then?

Based on your answer, it definitely seemed like you aren't.

You asked if we felt the fight between evolution and creationism would rival that of the geocentric debate in the time of Galileo. I answered no and gave reasons. I made no inclination to where I lie in the argument but based on your criteria that only creationists should answer I suspect you could deduce where I stand. Smile

What the hell? A smart, likable,....creationist? I don't get.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
