No it won't be assimilated but it may be adopted more strongly and, of course, the Rat Catcher's will spin the tale that they never really had an issue with it.
IMO all believers in religions with creator gods are "creationists" of a sort, it's just a question of where one places the creation event. Thinking on the debate Adrian and co. are having I don't really get why the fundy's don't accept evolution (common descent from pre-exiting life-forms) because, to my mind, a god that can start that kind of ball rolling is inherently more powerful than one that has to micro-manage the entire process. Ultimately I think they reject evolution because of bigotry ... they simply can't accept that humans are just another great ape, an animal like all the rest.
